RoyalTek have released their first pico-projector (you know, those tiny portable projector units), which is called the RPJ-2000. Here’s the low-down from my buddy Ron at picoprojector-info.com: It’s a stand-alone projector (with no internal memory) that uses 3M’s 2nd-generation LCoS engine.

INQ Chat launches on 3UK
In what was a completely silent launch in terms of PR (and I say that because I’ve spoken to INQ’s PR a number of times), the INQ Chat 3G has launched with 3UK, on a range of tariffs. I was really interested in the INQ Chat 3G, because it promised a nice melding of Integrated…

Indonesia’s Telkomsel is set to launch iPhone 3GS on late January 2010, according to our friends over at Gajeto.com.
