The P3 Pocket Projector from AAXA is a marvel of modern miniaturization. It's a real working projector that's smaller than two stacked smart phones at a size of just 4.6 x 2.6 x 1.2" (116.8 x 66 x 30.5mm). Yet it can project an image that can measure from 7 to 80" (0.2 to 2 m) measured diagonally.
With its vivid 1000:1 contrast ratio you can project on a screen or just about anywhere. Next time you're on a road trip sit in the back seat and project a movie or play a video game on the seatback in front of you. The LED light source is rated to last 15,000 hours. Coupled with AAXA's Vibrant Color technology the AAXA P3 is able to blast bright, brilliant images of up to 80" (2 m) in low light environments.
The P3 comes with a lithium-ion battery that's good for about an hour on a charge. You can recharge it using the included AC adapter or, at a slower rate, directly from the USB port. Of course you can always run on AC power if there's a socket nearby and save your battery power for when you really need it.
The onboard MP4 player can decode 720P video files, high resolution pictures, MP3 music, and text files. With the built-in speaker the P3 becomes a portable entertainment power house.

Excellent projector for price point. Fan is a little loud and sound is weak but both are easily overcome by hooking up external audio.

Got this for my birthday since my parents saw that I had a much weaker pico projector. This 50 lumen projector looks great when hooked up to my iPhone, much better than my brookstone iphone 4 projector. The resolution is way higher and when comparing text it is like night and day. The P3 is a great product and I am extremely happy especially since I got it as a gift. Like the other review I can easily get 80 inches and have even gotten about 120" on my fence in my backyard.

Comments about AAXA Technologies P3 Pocket Projector:
I got this projector along with an 85" screen so I could watch DVDs and stream video from my Apple Tv. The product description recommends projecting up to 60", but I've projected a significantly larger image with only slight quality reduction. It's extremely quiet and comes with a variety of methods for input.

Comments about AAXA Technologies P3 Pocket Projector:
I bought this to connect to an old PS2, and for an HTPC to play movies and emulated games in a very small space. I've been looking into buying a projecter for many years, and I was attracted to this because of it's physical size (It's as small as they describe) it's connectability (you can connect it to practically anything) and the interchangable aspect ratio. (Between 4:3 to 16:9).
This is a nice little box, tiny, well made, can connect to pretty much anything. It comes with most of the cords you need right out of the box, including a small tripod and remote. It's a great value.
The image is adequate when blown up (not stunning, but I wasn't expecting that from a pico projecter) Watching a movie on this is kinda like watching a movie in an underground art house movie theater, except without the shadey charecters in the corner or the popcorn and junk on the floor.
The image is soft but detailed enough to watch in a dark room. Any light source will detereorate the picture quality so keep that in mind. This probably wouldn't be a good projector for business purposes.
But for everything else though, movies and games, the P3 is great!
My only beefs, and they're minor, are the functionality of the remote (It's tiny and very difficult to use in a dark room) and the focusing ring can sometimes be difficult to maneuver with my large stubby fingers. But again, these are very minor issues and mostly related to my 'man' hands.
Overall, the P3 a great little projecter for my uses!

I wasn't expecting too much out of this little thing but I had to buy one for traveling and presentations but it was a pretty decent product. What surprised me most was the definition of the product in terms of output. It looked pretty hi-def, and was pretty bright, and best of all it came with all the cables and accessories I thought I needed to buy. Luckily I had an HMDI but that's the only cable it doesn't come with.
