With rumored delays hitting the Notion Ink Adam, could this be the first pixel Qi device to ship.

DigiLife is an optical camcorder manufacturer, and the DigiLife iOne is an Android tablet with a difference. It has a built in pico projector. The iOne is still just a mock-up and non-functional prototype. They expect to have working prototype in another month. If and when it does, it will run on a Samsung Cortex A8 processor and have a 10.1″ capacitive touchscreen, USB ports and dual microSD slots.

They still haven’t decided what kind of a pico projector they want to build into the tablet. They claim to have been approached by various firms each pushing their technologies.
Nothing about how much it weighs, but the best bit of news is could end up costing under $200 without the pico projector, and under $300 for the model with the pico projector.
