 Great purchase November 17, 2009
C. Buchter (San Diego, CA)
We had a projector in the past that was bulky and once the $500 bulb burned out, never used again. I love how small and portable the pico projector is. We used it at our halloween party to play movies on the back of our second story house. We also plan to use it in the desert. The picture quality is great and it's very easy to use. Overall, great product!
 Not worth a second look November 16, 2009

I bought this projector with the intention of watching movies from my computer on my bedroom wall. In theory it should be a great product, but in actuality it is far from it. There are several reasons I gave this product only one star.
First, it is not Mac compatible even though the web site says that it is. The projector can project from the Mac (by mirroring the computer display), but data cannot be transferred to the projector so the on-board memory is completely worthless. The company says that data needs to be converted to Xvid format via their proprietary software that is only for use with PC. Videos already encoded as Xvid will not play.
Second, the battery life is very poor. I was not able to watch a single (approx 8o minute) movie on it freshly charged.
Third, it is very cumbersome only being able to use the projector connected to both the computer (would not work through the included USB and VGA cables, need to buy an additional DVI adapter to get it to work at all) and plugged in. Even with the tripod, it was very unsteady and difficult to get it a straight projection.
Fourth, the projection quality was very poor. Even though the room was dark, the darker shots in the movie were impossible to see. I was not able to enlarge the picture to my desired size- about 42". The largest size I was able to project to with a clear picture was about 25". Even at this small size, the picture was not as clear as I would have expected. I was not able to get it to focus clearly on text at any size.
Lastly, the "owners manual" is virtually non existent. None of the literature that comes with the product is very useful in operating the product.
 Would be Great if it worked with Mac November 9, 2009

Cool device, but sucky execution. Bought to display photos and graphics. Dragged several jpgs (from various sources) onto internal device storage (built into the projector) and every time I tried to view one, it crashed the projector. Online help was minimal. User manuals were practically useless. No evidence of any sort of firmware upgrade to fix the display crashing. I'm ready to smash it up against the wall. So, instead, I'm boxing it up nicely to return it to amazon.
 Great Idea, with limitations November 9, 2009

The projector is well designed, solid, the package come with three sets of cables so you can
connect your computer or your video source(camera, DVD, etc)
One usb cable (included) give you the option to send videos and photos to a 4GB inside storage!!!
you need to convert the videos before, but the software came into the package and works very well.
The audio is loud and clear instead of the size.
You can make a presentation of videos and photos without anything else!!!!
Its is quiet, very handy hand easy to use, perfect for fun at night
Perfectly portable even with all the accessories.
I'm very happy with this projector, but you must know that it have some limitations:
Works very well in dark places and shows vibrant colors, but not as well on normal light conditions
Using it as PC projector is good for videos or photos (not very sharp) but not as secondary screen or presentations, the letters doesn't look well and it is not comfortable to watch or read.
My computer send a resolution of 800 x 600 maybe the equipment works better at 640x480
but for computer presentations I don't recommend it.
I watched a movie and it get hot but works without problem, of course for a movie you must plug it.
Very soon this product will become common in many device specially mobile phones
The option of share videos and photos to any surface from a device that fit in your pocket
is extraordinary, everyone who use it, like it!
have realistic expectations November 3, 2009

come at this device with realistic expectations and you will not be disappointed. i got it to use in a dark room to play last-generation videogames (PS2), watch DVDs, and watch streaming videos off the net. i am mega happy with it. i put mine on a gorillapod, and you'll probably want to do similarly
