Works for Me by The Boss on staples.com Jun 14, 2010

Brilliant idea but still too dark by Sangio on bhphotovideo.com Jun 28, 2010
I returned it. I loved the characteristics, but when I received I realized that 15 or 20 lumen are really too few to use it if the ambient is not completely dark. Hoping to have soon model with more powerfull leds.
 
Disappointed by Hooperman on staples.com Apr 13, 2010
Size is great. Quality seems to be good. Performance leaves a LOT to be desired. Product says it has adjustable brightness, but was too dim to use in a room with any light what so ever, and brightness would not adjust. Might be a good item for a very small room with no light and limited attendees.

Loud, dim, but lightweight. by a_firend_of_a_friend on amazon.com Aug 31, 2011
I did the whole let it charge for three hours thing, and I fired it up, ready to see how big a projector screen I would need. The fan is very loud for such a tiny machine. The screen image was almost non-visible in a room that had a couple of windows ...
 
Dim, sounds tiny and already stopped working. by N. Ngo on amazon.com May 29, 2011
Only viewable if the room is pitch black. Plays any kind of files loaded onto the micro sd card. External speakers is a must, the built in speakers are useless. It has a fan that can get annoying if you are trying to watch a movie with the built in speakers. ...

While LED pocket projectors are a good concept,they still don't hit the mark...The thing just doesn't want to stand up...even with the legs splayed a good distance...With it I can project a movie to 50inch size in the dark and that is a good quality movie I can enjoy...

3M MPro 150 Pocket Projector review
Video playback was surprisingly good too, considering the size of the device, with me being able to manage video playback sizes of up to fifty inches...The brightness quality increases with the decrease in light though, but isn’t bad at all in a medium lit room...With video playback and other projection tasks as image display, the easily manipulated, adjustable stand, that is equally good looking, allows me to get perfect angles for projection...

Small, lightweight, connects to virtually anything (optional cables), big screen capability...Noisy, d-pad awkward to use, expensive...3M's approach to this is to create the MPro150, a pico projector about the same size as a glasses case that promises to let you do your presentations without having to put your back out...Measuring 125mm long and 160 grams, the MPro150 Pocket Projector is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket...As for image quality, it's good,...
