The Geeks.com mini USB 2.0 LED projector was able to project an image of decent quality up to - and beyond - the specified 50 inches maximum, and all that had to be done was to connect it to a PC via USB.

After spending some time with the Nitrox x835 Bluetooth handsfree car kit we have somewhat mixed feelings. Overall, the sound quality is decent and the battery life is really good. Its size and simple visor mounting clip make it easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. It is also a lot better than the built-in speaker phone feature on the iPhone.
