Pocket sized projectors
 

I'm looking for a pocked sized projector, that I would like to connect to either my Samsung NC-10 Netbook and Acer Aspire 5680 laptop, and possibly my XBox 360.

I would like to to use the SVGA or USB (if it can handle DVI/HDMI would be a plus)

I don't want to spend silly money, but as in January the VAT is going up I guess I'll pay less now than more later.

I've seen one of these http://www.optoma.co.uk/picoindex.aspx, but would like to know what anybody here thinks or knows a better one that I can just plug on the source at watch.

From what I understand the pocket ones are LED lit, with a life of around 70,000 hours.

Looks good but how much are they and what sort of detail can you get from it?

The link I showed vary form £150 to £350.

I know there are other models,but don't know all of them. I would like to know what is the best to worst.

The Gadget Show compared a few mini projectors a couple of weeks ago:

Well I final got the Optoma PK301.

The only downside I have is that the box was missing the Quick start guide, which has the licence key for the converter software, and I cannot get to the shop until tomorrow

I have the Aiptek one and the brightness isn't brilliant I have to admit.
I guess as with most things you get what you pay for.
