#Poor focus and image (2009-06-01) Bought this item to display movies from the ipod and was really disappointed with the quality of the image and the lack of focus control and returned it. Searched for another projector and found the Microvision Pico P which is coming out later in the year which uses lasers and promises better images and always in focus. The early video of it on their website looks really good. Looking to check it out once it comes and hope it is better than the last purchase.

#Beware (2009-04-12) You can only use this projector with an ipod not a computer. . . . lots of hassle and haven t managed to use yet. . .

#Brilliant, but with huge flaws (2009-03-09) The Pico is so brilliant in so many ways, allowing you to watch pictures or videos on the move, pretty much anywhere. I ve connected the Pico both an iPod touch, iPod nano, and Microsoft Zune, and on all three devices, the picture was far better than I expected, assuming a good quality video rip. The colours were good, and in total darkness we could easily watch a video of 50 or so inches. The battery life, while not stunning, easily went up to 1. 5 hours on max brightness, and with 2 included batteries, chances are you ll be just fine. ...

#rubbish (2009-02-14) got it for work, wrong reasoncouldnt get a decent picture, then bulb went after 10 minsso returned!

#Great for a motorhome ! Great for anywhere really (2008-12-17) I bought one for my husband to use in the motorhome, its so dark in there and you can project it of the blinds its just great. Its easy to use, just wish they had supplied a ipod cable, luckly we had one. For us it worked straight out of the box without any problems or issues with focus wheels etc. It was simple to use really and the quality is great - pixels are not a issue. We are using it for ipod movies, dvds, tv and also for presentations. It really is very good my only negative point is the speaker but you...

#Superb for the money (2009-05-21) Received this product yesterday, and I must say I am pleased with its performance so far. I always knew it would never match the quality of a full sized projector which you should keep in mind, but considering the price and the fact that it ways roughly the same as a Ipod and quite happily sits in my pocket I cant fault it. Yes you do need to have a pretty much completely dark room but in such conditions the little projector throws a perfectly watchable image up to around 50 inchs and its little speakers do a superb job at producing a sound you can he...

#rubbish (2009-02-14) got it for work, but couldnt get decent picture, even of my pc desktop , so returned it right awaycant think who would be happy with this model of any otherprice is a lot for gimmic of showing pictures on a wall, even if you do manager to get an unfuzzy picture

#Novel Teaching Device: easy to use but poor speakers (2008-12-18) As a lecturer I was looking for a pico projector for presentations. The Aiptek v10 pocket cinema is a fun, novelty product with serious potential as a portable (literally in the pocket) projector with image viewing software for small group teaching, replacing a laptop and data projector. It definitely needs low light (or darkness for large images) which limits the places to use it. To make best use of the device takes a little thought and planning. PowerPoint presentations, suitably edited and reduced to 640x480, s...

#great product - good idea at all (2008-12-12) Great product and good idea at all from Aiptek. Display jpg files is easy. Play back from SD card or copy on internal memory (8GB) play back video files according to the video format, but there is some converter software available in the internet. Called the UK hotline (service manual -was provided with my unit) and get my questions answered. It can connect with the apple IPhone, just need composite cable (used original apple cable) and whatch podcast on a white wall or any white surface! It is a real gadget. Have also tried with Wii -...
