I can recall a couple of people posting here saying that it wasn't all that good and its not just the little piece you see in the SE web site etc which plugs into the back of your TV or whatever. It also requires a power supply
Here is the product page and it only does still pictures and MP3 but its not streaming, they must be copied to the device first. Its doesn't play video at all.
I guess you could use it for a presentation as long as each slide is a jpg image
its worth reading the SE FAQ before buying this too

I think if ur doin a presentation it's unlikely to be on a TV & probably just use a PC anyway or even better PC with projector
BTW masseur.....
that was your 10000th post!!
Only noticed cos I saw 9999 in the top20 list just before. Then u posted & I was wondering if it stays on 9999

It's quite nifty actually - I saw one a couple of weeks ago when the  rep came to visit. Very easy to transfer pics, and you can theorietically use the phone as the control for PowerPoint presentations, by saving slides as jpegs, as masseur pointed out. That was actually one of the uses he highlighted.
As far as I saw, no additional power supply is required. It effectively acts as a bluetooth receiver and decoder for any scart-equipped device.

this is taken frlom the FAQ I linked to earlier (and also the same was commented previously by members who bought this)
Do I need the charger connected when I'm using Media Viewer?
Yes, you do. The Power supply/charger, CST-13, must be connected at all times when you are using the Media Viewer.
perhaps he just hid it very well!

Cheeky bugger - he must have hidden it well!
To be fair, I guess I was concentrating more on the pic quality!

I guess the picture quality will be equal to the source since this is just a digital device, unless it emplys some sort of BIP (bluetooth image protocol) during the transfer and changes the quality in some way.
Were you able to compare the before and after image? I guess also if it was displayed on a TV thats not going to be the best anyway
btw, the SE shop still sells these for 99.99 pounds and even on ebay they are 56 pounds which I think is still way overpriced for such an accessory

He used a projector. I don't think there's any difference with pics viewed on the media viewer, as it would appear to be solely dependent on the camera used. It seemed to be the case that the S700i pics looked far and away the bestm compared to a load of VGA camphone pics (no surprises there then!)
What I wondered was whether there would be a loss of quality after transferring to the media viewer but, given that I had only previously seen the pics on the phone screens, it is difficult to tell - quality seemed good to me.
I do agree that the price does seem very high, and gadget freak though I am, I can't see myself spending £60 or thereabouts on this. I would think £30-£40 would be a more reasonable price point.

I'd certainly buy one to play with (like I did the car-100) if the price fell to around 30 pounds
