    Is there no way to hook up external speakers?
    Kind of pointless if not.

    Wouldn’t you be able to just use the speaker port on the iPhone/iPod? Looks like it’s still available.

    that’s a great item…gotta have it
    any pricing information to be had?

    This looks like it’s between two worlds

    What connection is from iPhone?

    Presentation support?

    Remote? (cough) Since it looks like you want be able to use the iPhone if it’s plugged into the base of the projector

    Faaaantastic !!!!
    A “must have” gadget, for …. the baby !!!!!

    This thing looks good – As soon as it’s in the shop I will get 1!

    Could some one please email me ASAP to let me know these things have went on sale!! Email me at awzriell@yahoo.com

    It looks very elegant just like iphone. It will going to make a mark soon in the market. Thanks to latest technology that nothing remains impossible to do. Thanks for this well written article with some extremely good details about the product.

    It looks pretty, but as an owner of the AAXA P1 micro projector and the Iphone 3GS I don’t know why you would want to limit yourself to only one device input. Hooks up to the PC, Cable box, etc. all for $200…
