I am psyched about these mini projectors. Finally my robot can project Leah telling Ben Kenobi he's her only hope!

It would, of course be cooler in 3d, but I'll take what I can get.

I have a 3M MPro110. It's 640x480 (vs. 480x320) and about $350 (vs. $430). Also pocket-sized. I don't see the comparison.

What's it like to use? Have you considered it a good buy or just a novelty?

(What connectors does it come with?)

I like it. Most things I play with a projector don't start with higher than 640x480 resolution, anyway, so the picture quality is actually quite good. It tends to get a little hot, which causes me to worry, even though I'm sure the engineers worked out all the details. The VGA cable is a bit finicky, and it's a little too short. It also came with an RCA connector.

40-60min battery life though, vs 90min on the Pico

I wonder if I can replace my aging CRT TV with this, the distance to my wall isn't too much.

quick, someone make a laptop that is just a keyboard and trackpad plus one of these!
