After months of waiting the Pico projector is finally here, but is it as good as we were promised?

Pocket-lint got a hands-on with the new pocketable device that promises to give you a 60-inch screen on the go.

Watch the video to find out whether it cuts the mustard.

  • What's up with the crappy video viewing method?

    It would be fine if it worked but it doesn't. I don't get the video playing and I keep getting pushed onto Nokia's N96 advertising page whenever I try to interact with the video playing controls.

    I'm off to find another video review of the projector that I _can_ watch.

  • You expect us to value your judgement on the projector test when you cant even get your own website video display working. Leave the gadgets to the big boys. This stuffs obviously out of your league. Maybe shoes, you only need a jpg or gif for them. Posted by Tech Guy Steve, uk
  • Steve, what problems are you having? The video plays perfectly. Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
  • I agree that the demo here doesn't do the product any justice and we didn't see the quality of the output. I just bought one and am raving about it to everyone. I got a great deal at www.webelectricals.co.uk and got it delivered for free for less than £249!

    Contrary to the review I think it works fine in daylight but I'm quite forgiving as I jsut love this product!!!
