Sweet! I want one.
One thing that I find silly about this… Most of the videos on iTunes are pretty low quality. Why beam grainy movies into a high definition projector? I would also imagine that the location of the dock is a bit inconvenient, seeing as most projectors used for home theater are mounted hanging from the ceiling.
I must say though, If I was shopping for projectors and my choice was between this one and a comparable projector, sans iPod dock, I’d choose this one just for the cool factor alone.

This is a company that is cashing in on the craze, while just taking it way to far.
This product has gone beyond the limits of practibility.
That is just my opinion
