I recently bought this little giant to compliment my collection of Portable media players. I now use it regularly at night to watch TV shows recorded via Archos on my ceiling at 40" -50" and it works really well with Archos products. I primarily use it with Archos 504 that has the direct video out form the player, however I have also used it with Archos 605 with travel adaptor and it does the job just fine. Below is a mini review for people who may consider buying. You can buy it directly from the manufacturer at aaxatech.com
Pros:
* Tiny projector
* 30,000 bulb life, will never need replacement.
* Has built in memory of 1 gb
* Micro sd card slot (read my sandisk 8gb card just fine, a very pleasant surprise, manual says can read up to 2 gb)
* Portable with battery, in my battery test it gave me 48 minutes with speaker, have not tried it with headphones, I am assuming it will add more time.
* Works really well through a/v in function, one can use any video source.
* Built in software is good, I observed no video stuttering while using the micro sd card as the source of video.
* Supported file formats include MP4, MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AVI, WMV, SMV, BMP, JPG, GIF, and TXT.
Cons:
* Of course with 12 lumens you have to be in a room fairly dark, it is pretty much useless in a bright room. Best use in my opinion is at night with very little light. So, this may not be a good choice for people considering it to run presentations in offices. However, at night I had no problem watching videos on this.
* Does not come with a tripod, I found it difficult to hold it; it would be nice to see an accessory that may offer tripod that one could use even on uneven spaces.
* Sound output is tiny and useless from built in speaker, you may have to use either head phones or have it attached to some kind of music system.

I ordered one as a gift, but when it came, I kept it. It was too cool. I ordered it with the IPOD cable ($15) plugged it in, turned it on and hit play on my IPhone 3G. Killer picture. It works pretty good in a well lite room at maybe 13" to 18" screen size. In a pitch black room, on a white wall the picture was 50" to 60" easily....Wow. It's a wee bit noisy, like fan noise. But other then that thumbs way up. Very Impressed, especially for the size and price.

This is a review of the AAXA Pico mini projector, based on use over a month.
Brightness: The Pico offers adequate brightness at short range in daylight at normal monitor size of 15-22". In a completely dark room, the image is bright at 24" and adequate at 42" The picture is low-resolution but certainly adequate for videos.
Convenience: The size of a pack of cigarettes, the projector is easily pocketed. Use with an iPhone/iTouch, however, is inconvenient, especially with the short cord supplied as an extra.
The device, however, can also be used alone or with iPhone/iTouch or periferals such as a digital TV tuner or the Netflix TV device. These items worked well. Use alone is most convenient.
Comparison: Since the device is marketed for use with the iPhone/iTouch, an evaluation is needed here. Does the iPhone expand the usefulness of the projector? The short answer is no.
The iPhone iTouch small screens are themselves mostly preferable for individual viewing. More important, iPhone/iTouch AV does not provide a picture to the Pico at all much of the time, for example, the desktop/springboard, Safari browser, the weather channel. The latter limitation greatly diminishes usefulness of the Pico.
Based on all the above, then, the best use of the AAXA Pico is in the dark without any other auxiliary equipment, such as for viewing a movie downloaded to it. The Pico is put to its best advantage in projecting a large picture to the ceiling in the dark, for example in a hotel room or hospital. For such use a vertical bracket would be desirable to hold it in place. A bracket is also really needed for horizontal projection.
The device looks substantial except possibly for the light rubber lens cap and the plastic battery cover. External headphones or speaker(s) are mandatory; the speaker volume is extremely low.
Summary: The Pico excels at use without other equipment in the dark, especially for overhead projection. It is not recommended here for use with the iPhone/iTouch. However, use with Netflix box might be handy. Use with a digital TV tuner worked but requires an antenna for good reception.
For seniors, such as with wheelchair and small attached screen, use is impractical. Hopefully such uses will be developed for the handicapped..
