3.5 stars and $285 at amazon

I already test this, the technology is not ready yet . It just hurt my eyes, may be I need lens ;)

Somewhere in the universe the genetic composition that is to be Geordi La Forge shudders...

Great, perfect, now the creepy guy sitting next to me on the plane can watch his MST3K reruns in peace.

Little out of my price range as well.

I have a lazy eye, so one of my eyes doesn't work well, it means 3-d glasses do nothing, but change the color of the movie/game for me. Will that affect this?

how can somebody design something like this and be so , so, ugly looking !!

This spec should scream NO to everyone here. I guess it's not that different of a resolution than viewing it on an iPod. But the "44-inch TV viewed from 9 feet" is so misleading, because a 44" TV has many, many more pixels and therefore more detail.

Woot should sell a silver suit with this so I can walk around looking like the "man of the future". Otherwise, I might look a bit dorky.

To those complaining about resolution, the things are like 2'' by 1'', you don't need a higher resolution

Got one last time and hated it. Screen's not good at all and is small, sounds fine. Sold it on ebay to someone in some part of Europe. Sucker!

I think its a little stupid for Ipod purposes, but Im thinking connecting this to your TV and busting out some Halo or other FPSs would be sweet

I'm going to get a pair of these for me and one for my lady. BOW CHIKA WOW WOW

Time to put some pr0n on teh ipod video

I'm in!!1

I've been waiting for these, will be great on planes and trips - and this is a reasonable price to try em out . Thanks w00t!

This is cool and all, but for us with glasses and not so superior eyesight, what kind of experience would this be like?

do you know if these will work with a pc?

I used to sell similar glasses and to be honest it looks pretty good. The screens are small with bad detail, yes, but when your eyes are sitting that close you really can't see a difference. It honestly just looks like you're watching a 44" TV from 9' away...nothing more, nothing less.

I wish these weren't exclusively for the iPod. Don't they realize we all have Sansa MP3 players?

Can this work with an ipod touch ( i know its prob a stupid question but i wanted to confirm before jumping the gun on this thing)

After having my iPhone fry from a car charger that asked to go into airplane mode to avoid interference, I'm reluctant to plug anything into it that isn't specifically designed by Apple to work with the iPhone.

I think this would be sweet to wear if you got a power inverter for your car. Think Xbox on the go!

Don't know, not a stupid question though. I wouldn't want to spend a hundred bucks on something and later find out I can't even use it.

Since when does 320×240 qualify as high resolution? Its only like a 1" screen, but its also like 1" from your eyes.

Stay the hell away from my car

It is actually high resolution compared to some of the options out there, amazingly enough. I'd really love this (yes, even at that resolution), but just not $100 worth. (Then again, I don't have an iPod; I'd only be using it with my laptop...)

Sweet. So far we've got links to an AV920 and an IP230.

These are the AV320's. Have people never heard of different model numbers?

Does this thing work with a Zune?

I keep thinking these things would be great for people to lie in bed and watch tv or play games beside a sleeping spouse, but the negative reviews kill the possibility as far as i'm concerned.

They are NOT exclusively for the ipod. See the description.
"Designed to connect to almost all NTSC or PAL audio/video device with video out capabilities"

I feel bad for Geordi La Forge. All this time, he's been stuck seeing in 320x240

Will I be coordinated enough to eat popcorn with these blocking my vision?

Will the image be shaking by me chewing my popcorn?

Hmmm, and is it worth $100 when I can just watch from the screen I have, and eat popcorn without any issues?

Similar but not the same product.

A buddy of mine bought a pair of these a long while back at about double the price.

He wishes he never did.

Yes, it comes with an ipod adapter, it should work on all of those ithingies with video. I didn't have this exact one but I had a smililar model. These things are good for what they are. If they have built in earbuds, they sound like carp. The pictures obviously cannot be amazing, usually they have light contrast ratios, bleeding colors and stripes in the image. However, if you are not a videophile and you want a cool little portable video device, $99 bucks is maybe two thirds the price of all these I've seen.

I don't know if I should have or not, but I got one. Really I just got it because I have been reading about them for like four years and can think back to when these things were like six hundred bucks. If all eles fails I'll sell it on ebay.
