Items in Box
Optoma Pico PK-101 projector
Power adapter
USB cable
Tripod adapter
iPod kit with dock connector
What I Like: I should change that to say ‘What’s Not to like’ about the Optoma Pic PK Projector. This is honestly something you’d see in a sci-fi movie. I’m just amazed that it exists.
What I Didn’t Like: Price Tag. Requires external speakers to receive good sound quality
Bottom Line: This is a gadget that if you have the money to spend, I highly recommend. In terms of ‘need’, you probably need it as much as a hole in the head. If you give a lot of presentations and are constantly traveling there could be a need for it. Otherwise it’s a cool $300 you probably don’t need.

So yea, you can view videos and movies on your iPod Touch or iPhone. The screen can sometimes leave a little to be desired. How can I enjoy Braveheart with a 3.5 inch screen? MyVu Crystal Media Viewer is your answer.
Features
- Full VGA Quality
- 4 Hour Battery Life
- USB Mini cable for battery recharge
- Resolution: 640 x 480 (VGA
- 24 bit color depth
Items in the box
The MyVu Headset
In ear headphones
2 extra pairs of ear buds
Microfiber sleever, also can be used as cloth
Cable for connecting to iPhone or iPod Touch
What I Like: My favorite thing about the media viewer is that it does what it claims. When you plug the glasses in, you’ll see a bright and vibrant screen to view. The display resolution is crisp, and the colors are vibrant. The USB connector for charging is really handy.
The body of the glasses aren’t too bulky either, and transfer from place to place really well.
What I didn’t Like: The technology is fantastic, but like many great things is expensive. If you have $300 you’re looking to burn then fine, but for most that’s quite a steep price tag. If you don’t like ear buds then you don’t have any other choice for your audio output.
Depending on your head size, and nose structure the glasses can be quite uncomfortable. There’s very little adjustment. The glasses can emit a glare if you’re sitting somewhere in direct sunlight.
Bottom Line: With the MyVu Crystal Media Viewer, I recommend you pick some up if you are in with some money. It does everything that it claims to do, and was definitely impressive. There are a couple of negatives that could keep you from using the glasses. I would recommend finding them somewhere that you can try them on.
