Little other information about the new deal was revealed, other than that the InFocus board will discuss the new offer, but still support the existing offer. [full story]

June 11 - 9:15am EDT   InFocus started Wednesday by introducing two Work Big DLP projectors that are the first projectors anywhere to use DisplayLink's USB video technology. The portable IN1100 series and the larger-sized IN3100 series can both use USB for video output.

It also allows a connection to two or more external displays at the same time. [full story]
