AAXA P1 Pico Projector For iPod and iPhone Review

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Many practical considerations add to the utility and appeal of the P1 Pico Projector. This baby costs $239, who should buy it and why is discussed here. About the size of an iPod and twice as thick, there is a lot to speak of in this little device. There is a speaker, lithium ion rechargeable battery pack, and LED light and a LCOS Imager.

You can use this to create a relatively large video wall wherever you are. This is not the norm, so much so that it is appealing. So conceptually you can use this device to watch moveis and TV on a large dispaly and present photo-galleries on the road. All that is needed is a flat surface and a dark room.

Proclip Adjustable Holder with Pass Through Connector for iPhone + iPod Touch

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Proclip has come out with a number of car mounts over the past few years. Many of their car mount releases have been much more costly than those of their competitors. This latest $100 mount is adjustable and useful. It is also very expensive. This is what the accessory does- an encased iPhone or iPod Touch can be mounted on top of a male dock connector with a female dock connector port at the bottom which lets you connect to your favorite audio accessory. The holder also works with the latest Apple and third party cables.

The only issue is that you will also need to connect a vehicle specific bracket which will cost $30 more. There is a bit of complex arrangement to be done after that. Once it is accomplished you have an iPod stand that has tilt swivel functionality that lets you adjust it to your eyes for easy viewing. If you choose to spend the $130, you get something that fits your favorite gadget even when it is in a case. Unfortunately you will need to buy a charger and an audio out solution. So you end up with a huge price of $155 atleast! (more…)
