Pretty cool little gadget,
This is really an impressive little gadget. Quite easy to use, just plug it in to charge, turn it on and attach a device. I attached my iPhone and watched videos through iTunes and YouTube quite easily. On a wall, on a ceiling. There really needs to be very little ambient lighting though. But when it’s dark, really a pretty sharp picture for the size of the thing and its resolution. And I was especially impressed by the sound given the tiny size of the speaker.
My only complaint is a lack of documentation. The box came with a “quick start guide” which told you very little beyond how to charge it and a couple of other notes and one “sample” configuration. That’s it, and there doesn’t seem to be any more documentation online. But given how relatively easy to use it is, this is a minor quibble.

|Just Good!,
I was very much looking forward to this amazing gadget. A few weeks later I am slightly disappointed and thought I would share this so that other users know what they let themselves in for. I bought it specifically for my iphone, but was very gutted to hear that it only supports video and photo slideshow on the phone. I was hoping to show of some of the amazing apps I bought and am developing myself. The resolution is not great and it needs to be very dark for you to achieve a good enough image. They advertise it by showing that you can shine it on the side of a tent – I am not so sure what that would accomplish. If you are in a dark room and you have got a smooth white surface to project against, it is all right. If you were thinking of using headphones while watching the movie, you can’t change the volume. So all and all, I would give it a 3 out of 5 and probably would not have bought it had I the chance to do it again.. Sorry.

|Great for work and family,
I’m rarely the first to get anything but this thing is COOL. I’m a sucker for tiny form factors. Priced right for a new gadget (thought I could see it going lower in time–under $200 would be nice). We had been looking at buying a used LCD/DLP projector but with this, we got what we needed and more. We just got it yesterday and found it easy to use, reasonably easy to set up with the exception of hooking it up to our portable dvd player. We needed to jerry rig it into a M2M AV connection–the quick start guide doesn’t cover this at all and we stole the cable from our tv to make it work. Haven’t checked battery life but it’s easily run off the ac adapter
That said, my 6 year old LOVED hanging out in our living room watching a movie both off my iphone and the portable dvd. She’s already plotting her next sleep over. The picture quality is amazing–our display on the living room wall was probably about 4′ x 7-8 feet and very clear given that the room was not completely dark. For a group, you might want to hook it up to external speakers (we hooked it up to our Bose SoundDock and it worked great) but when traveling or for a small group, the sound on the little device is fine. Great when you don’t have to force 4 kids to crowd around a little dvd player.
For work, I can definitely see taking this to client sites when I need to do presentations. It’s about the size of a digital camera even with the case and cables. Very light, compact. Comes with all the connectors you need for the most part including power adapters for int’l travel.
A clever gadget, especially for the $$. Would be fun if they produce them in different colors like the apple products.
