Presentations sans Laptop
Thursday, Feb 15, 2001
A company called Margi Systems just announced 'Presenter-to-Go', a Springboard module for the Visor, that lets you 'print-to-PDA' a Powerpoint presentation as a series of static slides, then take the PDA with you and plug it into a Barco or other projector or TV for remote presentations without the computer.

Cool idea, but I've been exporting slides to JPEG files, then uploading them to my Digital ELPH and using its video-out port to drive presentations. It's not made for it, butit works pretty well, and you can fit about a thousand slides on a 32meg card. Another advantage of this way is that you can easily go over your presentation (or show it to someone else) on the train or in the car using the camera's built-in screen.

I'd use it for the presentation I'm giving for Yahoo next week, but I'll need direct internet access. Still, an extra 8 or 16 meg compactflash card is just the thing to keep a digital wallet of pictures, presentations, or whatever, letting you use your digital camera as more than just a capture tool.

If you like it, please share it.
