COMPACT BUT POWERFUL by LoyMac on bhphotovideo.com Sep 28, 2011
I attached my Ipad2 and did some presentation. Was amazed with the crisp quality from the small projector. ideal for people on the go like me. Easy to use, not complex and connection was great.

Good value, very portable, good image by Levant on bhphotovideo.com Nov 22, 2011
This pico projector is brighter than most at 32 lumens so the projection is usable even in an office with lights on. It's very portable, the web browser works well as do the file viewers. The only big drawback is I found it couldn't play back mpeg4 ...

Nice little projector. by Mike Python on bhphotovideo.com Oct 6, 2011
Nicely made projector, with reasonable brightness considering the size. Comes with everything you need for most applications, and an easy interface. So far we're using it in some theatre/performances.
 
Great Projector by Rgawee on bhphotovideo.com Jun 2, 2011
The performance for this projector is amazing comparing with the size. I tried in 50 inch wall no problem, but the border a little bit blurry. If you like outdoor activities and looking for a handy projector this is a great deal.

MP180 by 3M Gives Performs Below Average by Viadella on bhphotovideo.com Nov 30, 2011
I bought this project primarily to project photos and videos. This projector shouldn't be used at all with its internal flash memory. The thing shut down almost every time I tried to load even one photo on. It is unreliable. The picture quality is decent ...

3M Pocket Projector MP180 HK-4000-0067-3 B&H Photo Video
Bright for its size Easy To Use Fun to use Noisy On-board features lacking Delivers the 'wow' factor at a good price, but could use a firmware fix to address a few bugs...The included international power adaptors, 2 hour operating time, and variety of connection options are good selling points...For office meeting room environments, if you can dim the lights and close the blinds, you can get a good image on the wall! You need to be close to the wall...

3M MP180 review | ITReviews
Finally, decent brightness in a pocket projector....Using the web browser will drive you crazy....3M's MP180 doubles the brightness of its previous models to 30 ANSI lumens, and adds a touch screen plus a host of eye-catching connectivity features including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth...The MP180 is quite chunky, thanks to the heavy 2,600mAh Li-ion battery pack that provides around two hours' use...There's a micro-SD card slot at the side, plus the power button and...

3M MP180 pocket projector - Computeractive - product reviews you can trust
The 3M MP180 is a ‘pocket' or ‘pico' projector, designed to be carried around for projecting work or entertainment anywhere...It's quite chunky with a large rechargeable battery (giving about two hours' use at most) clipping underneath...For close-up work (projecting from around 1m away gave a screen size of around 32in), it was fine for text and PDFs in a lit-up room, but movies and photos didn't look so good...With these annoyances and the high price, the 3M MP180 is rather a disappointing product...

The 3M MP180 might not be the smallest pocket projector in the world, but it still genuinely fits into a typical jacket pocket...But that's precisely the feat 3M's new MP180 just about manages to deliver...One of the many things that's had the gadget fraternity buzzing about the MP180 ever since it was first announced around six months ago becomes obvious as soon as you look at it...
