Presentations with projector from the PDA
Reading each day as the news from my Palm, I found a comment in Clié UX50 on Presenter To Go Secure Digital. This solution, the company Margi, will allow us to directly connect the PDA to the projector with which normally conduct presentations.
The assembly is very simple
I have drawn attention because the first time I saw a PDA was last year in a class in college and, to show the multiple applications of these devices, the teacher brought the PowerPoint slides on your PocketPC, and with a similar software this (which may even this) connected to the projector to class, avoiding having to bear a voluminous laptop for something as simple.
As you have in PDAExpertos.com, comprises one hand, the necessary hardware: a cable to connect the canyon (projector), a remote control, the power cord (AC adapter) and SD connector. The remote control allows forward or backward presentation, in addition to the device adapter contains an infrared receiver for two of its sides, allowing for better communication (in previous models, using the infrared port's own PDA).
It includes everything needed to connect the Palm to the projector
And in terms of software, consists of three parts:
- Presenter to Go Desktop is a PC application that will convert documents from Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Acrobat (PDF), a proprietary format displayable on the PDA.
- Mirror, meanwhile, is installed on the PDA, and allows us to preview the files created.
- Finally, Presenter to Go is the program that is responsible for projecting our files from the PDA. One of the things that has surprised me most is that you can make notes with the stylus during the presentation, which is then erased. Ideal for stress or point out things during the explanation.
You can take pictures while in the presentation is planned
To all this must be added that if the use Presenter To Go we do with a Palm with sound, it is possible to connect an adapter barrel or projector for audio, which would give more impact to the presentation. In addition, although the Presenter To Go analyzed is exclusively for devices that carry expansion slot SD (Secure Digital), there is a Compact Flash version (Pocket PC), Springboard (Handspring) and Memory Stick (Sony Clie).
Ultimately, a solution to bear in mind that if we habitually projecting transparencies duante our work, and we want to lighten our suitcase.

At my university saw a projector that used a wireless pcmcia card, I suppose that wifi, to connect directly to the teacher's laptop. The Palm may be able to do the same, we should try.
