Hi Sam, Since reading your message I tried displaying pictures on my TV from my SPA for the first time. The quality was definitely better using my 800 x 600 InFocus DLP X2 projector; better colors, better linearity, better apparent detail. So far, I've only displayed photos that had been developed using a scanner. Tomorrow, I'll have some Thanksgiving photos that will go from my digital camera to the SPA via a CF card. Again, I am mainly interested in the SPA from an investor's standpoint. That is, how much consumer demand will there be for such a product? I think that your wife's opinion of the SPA will be better than mine, so let me know what she thinks of it. I've looked mainly at closeup photos of my grandkids, and have been quite happy with combination of the SPA and the X2. Yesterday, Mobile planet had the SPA for $29.95 with a 3-4 day delivery. Today, the advertised price is the same, but it won't be available until 15 December. It looks like someone made a mistake regarding availability. mobileplanet.com I've been watching my local Costco store for the SPA, but so far haven't found any. You are right, the SPA fits right in with the SanDisk "film" sold at the local supermarkets. I'd like for SanDisk to manufacture an inexpensive CF card holder, with maybe 20 or 25 slots. . Each slot could hold a "roll" of exposed "film". Slot #1 could be reserved for an index CF card to make finding photos easier. A few years ago, Siemens had an MMC holder that had a 10-card capacity.

maybe this will turn out to be the audiovisual iPod that my wife has been waiting for Epson's P-2000 comes pretty close to what your wife is looking for. Overview of the Epson P-2000 * View, share and store photos, videos and music * Large 3.8" Epson Photo Fine™ LCD * Portable 40 GB hard drive * Download from leading digital camera memory cards with built-in slots * Transfer files to and from your computer with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface * Connect to a TV or projector with an optional third party video cable * Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery with AC adapter * Excellent software for selecting photos to display. * Cost $500.00 US Dollars. About $12.50 per gigabyte. The review I read said Epson has the best small size LCD display on the market. Epson uses three color pixels per location in place of the one color pixel per location technology normally found in small LCD displays.
