The service isn't perfect. For example, I have a 15.4 inch widescreen display, while Pective only allows you to select a 15 or 16 inch display. So the picture of a CD it displayed was slightly larger than the actual CD I held up to the screen to make a comparison. But it was close. Close enough that I I can figure out how much space an iPhone would take up in my hand, or how hard it would be to type on the G1's thumb keyboard.
Right now there are only a handful of items to sift through on Pective. But that works out well because there's also no search function. You can only browser. Users can add their own images, and anyone can report whether the sizes for uploaded images is accurate or inaccurate. As more items get added, I certainly hope Pective adds a search box.
