Hi Tomas,

Thanks for this input – certainly its true they often forget to mention points like that – as we start reviewing more pico projector’s we will be sure to make sure we reference focal points and sizes of screens, big and small!

I know this might be uninteresting to most since biger is better but to some this would actually be very usefull information. (Also since many of the reviews keeps stating that the pocket projectors are good gadgets to bring on a airplane. Unless traveling firstclass the seatback infront is not 1 meter infront of you) - Pleas pay attention to smallest focaldistance and image size as well.

Yeah its kind of a pet habbit for me, watching stock like MVIS and how the other investment/stock of related tech companies are doing - Its too be seen how accurate the CEO of optima has been but I doubt he would do much more than slightly under/over estimate - but again he can't really predict the future much more than extrapolating figures. I think as pico projectors become more and more embedded (both literally) and within our everyday lives you are more likely to need to deal with them in a profesional context. If this whole tech area goes how I see it going, in a few years when mass market pico's reach a higher integration they will be hugely adopted. Do you have any contacts that might help with such comparison/demo units? Like you say it will probably take a few of them hitting the likes of Dixons/Maplin or similar before their rep is up enough for it to be viable for them - we have managed to grab a pretty good foothold though I think and so in terms of investment for a review from the pico projector manufacturers/sellers point of view it would definately make sense. With a bit of luck by mid 2010 we can have some sort of better system and make sure we can review all of the pico's that hit the uk/europe/the world! - Will need a bit of investment/time though. They had said Q1 of this year but they are rightly taking their sweet time. I wouldnt be suprised if by the end of March we hear more on the showwx. Certainly is a bit of a failure all the promo they have had over the last 3 months without being in the market! Cheers again Scooby Hi Scoob

Brilliant – look forward to seeing what you buy/your review of the badboy!

If this whole tech area goes how I see it going, in a few years when mass market pico’s reach a higher integration they will be hugely adopted.

I am glad the post proved useful. I have checked out the forums and will definitely write a review once I decide which badboy I get. (Any gadget I purchase is always called The Badbuy!) Hopefully get your advice before I purchase! I was also interested to read about the investment / stock market movement of the likes of Optima and Aaxa. I don't know how well the CEO of Optima can corroborate the figures he has stated but am looking forward and watching closely. I consult on anything from marketing and IT stuff (hardware and software) so essentially a jack of all trades / generalist. I think I should go into gadget buying though as it is a passion. I think once pico's get a better stance in the likes of high street stores, you can perhaps strike a conversation with the likes of DSG Group to get your hands on these devices. I think that the idea of comparison and seeing it in real life will be key to increasing traffic to this site. You guys have made a great start I think. You guys have an idea when that ruddy Microvision ShowWx is coming out?! They are taking their time! No use being Best in 2010 at MacWorld if you can't even purchase it! Take it easy. No problem. I am glad the post proved useful.

We are due to do a remap of the current pico's available in the coming weeks so I will definitely check out your 14. With regards to your suggestions for the comparison site - I can completely see the benefit fit of splitting these by categories - this is going to happen :) Unfortunately - despite the second point being a HUGELY great idea the difficulty therein lies with me getting the pico's (even for testing) - Unfortunately despite being a fairly established site with a ridiculous amount of content and specialism we are not yet receiving review copies of pico projectors - perhaps this will change as they reach bigger markets. Again thanks for all the input Scoob, we would love to publish any reviews you have on the pico you decide on buying (or any others you can get your hands on!) and thanks for reading - have you checked out the forums yet? http://forum.microprojector5.co.uk Cheers again Woods MicroProjector5 admin Scoob275 – thanks sincerely for the time you have put in too right us a decent, helpful message! :)
