I, too, would like to hear somebody's experiences with this projector.

@llamabox: ...errrr well it doesn't seem to connect to laptops, etc UNLESS it has composite. I think this is more of what I would need http://amzn.to/bKUXNp

Hey guys,
I got this when it first came out. At the time it had the best lumens for a pico but spent $300 for it. It is tiny and my friends cannot believe that it's a projector. Experience wise, I got for Iraq. We made a movie theater out of our tent. It didn't need to be pitch black but it definitely helped. We made a screen out of white sheets and it was fair. Great for such a small item. Down side was only really hooked up to my camera and iPod. Computer would have taken too much finagling. If you have $100 to spend and want something will work through your iPod and you have a fairly dim room, it is not a bad deal. Don't expect it to be like a movie theater. And the size of our screen had to have been about 60 inches-ish. Oh yeah focusing the picture was a bit of an annoyance. I hope his helped a little.

will this work with my ipad? an how about safari? docs to go PowerPoint?

Have 2, ripped one apart to refit it for IR.
Nice unit, impressive for the size.
Very dim, but in a pitch black room it will generate impressively large images.
480x320 resolution w/ composite input but spectacular color reproduction.

You'll need something like this to use it with an "i" product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Component-AV-Cable-component/dp/B001JBKRES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1284734637&sr=8-1

And of course there are cheaper alternatives...

Umm it comes with an adapter for iPod, assuming that works for iphone/pad. If your looking to go for the real thing I'd spring for the pk201 over the 102

If your laptop/netbook/PC has a VGA output, wouldn't this $7 adapter work?

If anyone plans on buying other adapters to connect this to their ipod or computer, make sure you buy a COMPOSITE adapter, not a COMPONENT adapter. A few of the links posted here are for component adapters.

@happyhooligan: Not necessarily - Note: Please make sure the Video Card of your system supports TV (RCA / S-Video) output through VGA Port

If it DOES, you're golden. Most video cards/laptops that support TV output have a specific Composite/S-Video/Component/etc port that will do some or all of the above. My ATI 4750 card has a port I believe will do S-Video natively, composite with an s-video -> composite adapter, or component with a dongle cable.

if i don't by anything at all along with it... like no converters or anything like that... does that mean i can't use it at all with my ipod or laptop?

I bought one of these on Walmart.com for 2-3 x the price. VERY disappointed. Battery life was less than 15 minutes AND the image projected was SO dim, the room had to be PITCH black to view it at all.

I returned it for a refund.
