Gah!

"Oh, and you can’t connect the Coolpix S1000pj to a laptop and use it as a miniature projector"

The punchline on the last page! Wont be buying this then :(

Great review otherwise though, thanks.

RE: Are They Claiming Copyright?

"I could churn out a UK post code listing of my own devising with not much intellectual effort"

I wish you could, however you must be very careful as it would probably be considered derivative of the copyright, and would be in violation.

You'd need to use something completely different with no relation to the format of the current system. For example you'd probably need to prove that it is directly related to a different - and open - system (such as Lat/Lon)

Real Genius

Does this mean I can finally have that house of popcorn that I've been dreaming of since 1985?

Still waiting

I was born in 1978. I'd say if given enough stem cells I could avoid the reaper until about 2078. As long as they touch down on red while I'm kicking about I'll be happy.

Video?

Amazing. Does the camera/projector also support video, or only stills? If it does then I am definitely buying one!

Carrying cases?

Hi there, great review. My headphones broke (again) from me being too rough with them and I am in the market for a new set.

Was wondering if you could quickly list the carrying cases that come with these? As a frequent business traveller I have broken so many bulky headphones (I HATE the ones that stick directly in the ear canal) due to the fact that either the carrying case was just a leatherish bag offering no real protection, or it was lacking any sort of case at all. Also do any of these come with any sort of volume or track controls on the chord? So that I can keep my PMP in my pocket or rucksack and still be able to adjust the volume/track without removing it?

Many thanks.
