Just saw this article on a product that will be shown at CES and should ship this year. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2242716,00.asp

"Dubbed SHOW, the lensless PicoP projector is designed for home and business use, and uses tiny lasers to shoot a WVGA (848 by 480, roughly DVD resolution) image on virtually any surface that isn't a dark color or textured. It can even project onto curved and uneven surfaces. From a distance of two feet, it could project a two-foot diagonal, full-color image on a white T-shirt. From five feet away, it could show a five-foot image on, say, a white wall or ceiling."

This portable projector is around twice the size of an Ipod video and is estimated to retail for $200 - $300.

I read about the same here:

Anyone going to CES should check it out.

However, I found this even more facinating:

The future clearly isn't incandescents, but whether LEDs or lasers win out remains to be seen. This item really looks like a toy/gadget (but a cool one, none the less) so it's hard to tell how advanced lasers are for projectors. In the short term, I would put my money on LEDs.

Everyone will be a lot older by the time this hits mainstream projection. Do not hold your breath.
