Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best pico projector to use with the Iphone?

I'm thinking about the AAXA projector:

But Optoma one looks really nice too...

TIA!

$500, no onboard decoding? No thanks, the "no focus" feature is not worth an extra $250 to me. I'm saving up for the Aaxatech unit unless something better comes out.

Iconoone - is that an FMIC on your car? (STIs rock!)

Yeah thats a fmic but it's not my car. I have a cgm 05 Wrx. Mine will look like that soon though.

It's a laser projector that is about as thin as an iPhone. The pricing point is going to come down since the market got saturated recently. Unless it has a 4 hours play time and a more powerful projection, I doubt it is going to be 500.
As far as decoding, what needs to be decoded? It projects whats put into it- whatever the (compatible by cord) source. If you have a 640x480 movie, then that's the ratio it will display.

Iconoone - Nice man! I had a GT30 WRX but had to give it up for an SUV :(

Hawk - I dunno about as thin as a Iphone bro, I saw videos of them demoing that thing at CES and I don't think it's that small. My Aaxa projector takes a micro SD card as well as has 1GB on board, so it can play videos / display pictures without having to hookup an Ipod / Iphone too it. It's the same size as my Ipod, just thicker. Those two features alone I think makes it a bargain at $250. But you're right, if the Microvision is in the $200's it would be pretty bad ass.
