Arrghhh....

Expansis have a PICO style LED projector - 25 quid delivered!!!!

Has 1GB memory and takes an SD card - awesome with a pair of headphones to project your fav films/tv series onto the hotel ceiling while in bed!

Now to hide it before the missis cops wind I've brought ANOTHER toy..... :?

errr.... http://www.expansys.com/expansys-pocker ... 02-205901/ don't shoot me.

This one doesn't do av input, the cheaper "not so good one" does and is 15 clams too. Mental.

I've used these before, in a REALLY light controlled room, a 50" screen is not unreasonable, but make sure you can plug it into mains.....2 hour battery life.

Eeeeee.

hmmm and the other one has gone to discontinued.

Bet I get a "this item is out of stock, do you want to "wait" until it comes back again - this could be forever, or have a refund?"

http://www.expansys.com/portable-portab ... ot-217908/

<edit>

Oooh...just checked my reference. Money has been taken and the item has shown as shipped - thought it was crazy low price, so I opted for next day delivery for another 5'er and it got sent for shipping right away :cheers:

Dave,

If you mean a wireless bridge, take a look at these. While I can't vouch for the seller (have a look at some reviews), the product is kick ass!

http://www.uk-surplus.com/solwise-3g-mo ... _1025.html

It's basically a plug in the wall, wonder of all things!

It's a 3g router - plug in your 3g dongle and voila - instant broadband shared amoung the house (great for travel)
It's an Access point
It's a router with WAN port (for virgin, etc)
It's a wireless bridge - connect your TV (for example) into this wonder box, which then wireless connects to your wireless router

It also allows connection and Samba sharing of HDD's, webcams and support FTP servers, etc.

Awesome kit....don't leave home without it (I get to a hotel, plug it in to the wall, connect WIRED cable, switch to AP mode - bam, wireless internet).

The newer 60 quid version from Solwise can be powered by laptop or battery too.

Cheers,

BG
