We bought the LiteShow in hopes of converting our Executive conference room from a wired cluster for presentations, to a wireless, professional setup. We got halfway there. The LiteShow adapter is compatible with wireless standard B, and is only available for Ad-Hoc networks. Therefore, if you want to give a presentation with your laptop wirelessly, you cannot wireless connect to your network and the projector at the same time. (Corporate wireless is setup for Infrastructure) This inconvience does not allow presentations to surf the web or download items from your network, unless you purchase a second network card for the laptop. We even tried the multi-channel network adapter cards, which cannot toggle between infrastructure and Ad-hoc, so you lose out there as well.

On top of all the corporate wireless frustrations, there is a noticable delay that for the money you pay for the adapter is unacceptable. If I were you, I would wait at least 6 months for a wireless G, infrastructure based card.

I thoroughly tested the LiteShow and returned it. The color in high res is excellent. It is slow and has considerable latency. In the User's Guide they state it's not suitable for DVDs. Surprise, you won't find that on the web site. They claim smooth animation and transitions in PowerPoint. No Way. PowerPoint animations were jerky. It was easy to get ahead of the projector so you didn't know where you were unless you look at the screen. It took 49 seconds to go through my 38 slides on the computer, the same took 2 minutes and 43 seconds on the LiteShow. I verified that I was communicating from 15 feet away at 11 mbps.
