Travelling light: replacing your notebook with a Palm

Presentations

A key reason for travelling with a notebook for many business-folk is the need to give presentations. Margi's Presenter-to-Go, which is a steady seller at £156.45 (~AU$385) for Expansys, allows you to use your Palm to drive presentations.


Margi Presenter-to-Go: convert PC-based presentations to Palm format and connect your handheld to a monitor or a projector.


Margi Presenter-to-Go: convert PC-based presentations to Palm format and connect your handheld to a monitor or a projector.

The package consists of: software to convert PowerPoint and other formats into Palm files; software to display the converted files on the Palm; a small adaptor box with a standard VGA connector that attaches to the Palm via an SD card; a power supply for the adaptor box; and a credit card-sized remote control.

You install the software (Windows or Mac) onto both desktop and handheld, and thereafter any presentation you create can be turned into a Palm-compatible file by printing to the Margi driver, which automatically adds it to the list for transfer at next synchronisation. Once a presentation is on the handheld, you can display individual slides for review, rearrange the order, choose which to use, set them to advance automatically at a speed of your choice and add annotations.
