Sure it's a toy . . .

But for $300 bucks, is it at least as good as a tv? With built in speakers and dvd player and using cheap lightbulbs? And way more portable?

A DVD Projector Turns Multimedia Into Child’s Play - New York Times

This brings up a common problem I have when wanting to innovate in schools (when spending taxpayers money on techy things) - if only I could get my hands on one, borrow one and play with it. Then I'd know one way or another. There's only so much research you can do. Questions always remain, and you never really know, is this thing going to work?, until you get it out of the box. It's one thing to return something to Beasty Buys as an individual consumer, receipt in hand. It's another when dealing with the world of POs.
