Here's a cool little toy slated to be released Summer 09:

I think this takes laser scanning to a new level, and at <$500, cheap too. Has anyone seen a demo of this thing yet?

nope... factly both wrong.

it has one single mirror but it can swing in two axes at insane speed
so the laser works like the electron beam in crt screens

Google 4 "MEMS Scanner"
