 If you get a unit that doesnt have the noise issue ... Strengths: very bright, great color/focus, amazingly small and light unit, 802.11g WPA-PSK does work.
Weaknesses: got a bad unit, had awful electric (buzzing) noise, wireless software barely works.
Summary: If you get a unit that doesnt have the noise issue (I've seen other mentions of this, though!), its a very powerful projector. The brightness was great for the 2500 lumen range, and it was somewhat automatic w/ keystone. The wireless feature was able to connect via ad-hoc or routers (tried wep b and wpa-psk g). The wireless software is very poor though, one issue is it has to install special network drivers and I think, some virtual machine thing. I wasnt able to install this software on one xp sp2 computer, another worked fine - very strange. You can connect via IP, but once you connect you'll notice the picture looks like a very low quality jpeg image. Also dont bother unless your graphics card can use a 24bit color setting, because it scales 32bit color down to 16bit (horrible color banding). It seems to run at about 5 fps maybe, so I wouldnt recommend it at all unless you can do 24bit (not 32!) and you're only wanting animation-less slideshows - Nice security, though. The mentioned mpeg and powerpoint support are useless - it converts powerpoint to a series of jpgs and I believe only can use standard mpeg1, which nobody uses anymore. Sony's airshot software on the otherhand worked perfectly w/o special drivers, so epson has a way to go on their wifi software.
Its a fine projector if you dont mind normal fan noise (and if you dont get the buzzing problem), but dont count on anything great in terms of wifi support.
