Finally got my Pico Projector!!

[blackops1]

CHECK IT OUT~!

This thing is tiny... Connects with my Ipod perfectly... and best of all - 60" Jessica Alba on my ceiling :)

[blackops1]

I'll upload some videos, etc when I get the chance. :)

Very nice!! This would come in really hand to show people pics and videos on the go without the need to pass the phone along!

Excellent work, i look forward to seeing some videos of this in action. :D

or when you're camping & can watch a movie on the ceiling of your tent.

Here's one I found online:

I own the AAXA P1 Pico also, youtube never does anything justice, the projector at night is incredible!

I hate these things. Not because they aren't cool, but because I absolutely will never need one yet I'll probably never stop wanting one, especially as they get smaller and better.

Jealous of you. Nice snag.

[Citsur86]

Can this plug into a PC also to project the screen?

Is the color, brightness, resolution, and clarity good?

Does it have Audio Aux output for sound?

Can it input a video/Audio signal from a Cable Box?

Also, will it output iPhone screen or just Media (Video, Audio, etc?)

Thanks for any answers you can provide!

I am seriously considering buying this as it would be amazing for me. I give presentations from a laptop at work and lug around a large projector and potentially can use it as a television in my bedroom (pending the last question).

Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself!

I think the pico projectors are cool as hell. I've been wanting one for a long time now.
If you haven't checked out the Samsung W7900 phone yet it's pretty awesome. It has a built in projector capable of displaying video up to 100 inches. I think they are currently only available in Korea for around $490.

Hi, I have the AAXA tech P1 Pico too In response to your questions
1. Color, resolution, and brightness are all good if you keep your expectations reasonable. It's a battery powered projector - in dark rooms you'll get great image brightness, good color (although the blacks could be better) and good resolution. In a bright room - not really no - but even with 1000 lumen projectors they get washed out. Don't expect this to replace your home theater projector and you'll be happy with it.

2. Yes audio output jack

3. Yes if your cable box supports composite (RCA) output - it doesn't have HDMI support if that's what you're asking

4. You have to jailbreak your Iphone for it to output the entire screen but yes it's doable.

Get it - for $239 (they just lowered the price by $10) it's totally worth it! ;)

Received it in the mail 10 minutes ago :) First impressions, this thing is sick!! Sound is a bit low, but headphones fix that.

So, my phone is jailbroken, I have had it this way since it was available.
What jailbreak app will allow the whole screen to be shown?

Thanks again for the help!

Found it. Its called ScreenSplitr. awesomeb

Thanks again for the help!What do you mean by whole screen?

[Citsur86]

I meant real-time screen projection. It handles this, but all of the sudden now, it will turn off (even if watching a video) and say "This accessory is not meant to work with this blah blah"

Any ideas?

[xr4cm1]

has anyone seen the Optoma ipod mini projector??

[Indy]

These things look awesome! Hopefully they gain popularity and are fully integrated into phones in the next couple of years or so.

FINALLY... the AAXA P1's just came off backorder (they said the recent reviews boosted demand quite a bit)... and MINE is on it's way!! :D

I can't wait for it to come in and play with it. I'm going to compare it with using a buddies full-size projector. I'm sure it won't have a comparable level of brightness, but I need something I can carry around that I don't have to plug into the wall.

I know some of you have been waiting for these to come off backorder too... l'll work on a little write up and we can compare notes.

Until then I found a recent review from TestFreaks:

Please feel free to PM me about the projector if you're interested :)

BTW, does anyone know if the Apple has any pans to do full screen mirroring anytime soon? I guess it's not a big deal since I'd need to have the iPhone in my hand to operate it anyways, but it would still be cool to be able to see everything projected anyways.
