Forget the first gen Pico projector chipset, TI reveals smaller/quieter 2nd gen

In what is almost certainly a break neck pace, TI has already revealed the second generation DLP Pico projector chipset.  With the first gen chipset just starting to come to market in the Korean based Samsung Show (W7900), the revealing of the 2nd gen chipset is somewhat of a surprise.  TI certainly isn’t wasting any time in the progress department.  Added benefits of the newest generation include a 20% reduction in noise and size, a brighter image, contrast ratio exceeding 1000 : 1, full RGB color gamut, and 854 x 480 (DVD) resolution!  I say just skip the first gen, give me the 2nd gen now.  The specs definitely make it much more appealing!
