Might be interesting on a red-eye flight [i.e. dark] & project onto the seat infront [with headset] ...

"So why in God's name am I reviewing it?"
so, are you reviewing it in God's name, or in TrustedReview's name? To me it makes a difference.

Can I make a suggestion?

You guys review plenty of cameras - fair enough, some of them come down to this end of the UK so that Cliff can have them, but amongst those of you at the TR office, you must have the odd compact lying around. It'd be great if you could take some test shots of projectors in action and upload pictures, as I've always wanted some sample images of what the projected image looks like.

@Darfuria - you know this would have to be taken in the dark, right? And we wouldn't be able to use any flash photography...
If anyone can get a clear shot amongst us only Cliff or Jay can!!

6 pages of review for this item and you couldn't squeeze in a snapshot of the projected image on the office wall?! come on, chaps!

Not that straightforward, but it is possible to take a picture of the projected image in the dark with studio flash, but it'll need to be a longer exposure using a static projected image. However, as we've said in the past, our freelancer (who does not work in our offices) is not commissioned to take photos. That said, we're in the process of getting one in here directly, so if that comes through we'll sort you guys out.

While the review is right to concentrate on performance, I'd like to say that I think it's totally remarkable that something like this can be imagined, let alone built. As a projection industry veteran :-) it seems inconceivable that you can get a light source, modulator, optics and electronics in something this tiny and put ANYTHING on a wall, let alone a half decent picture.
