So, what is the BlueTooth(?) interface device (URL) which will let me leave the house with my InFocus LP70+ XGA video projector, Cingular 8525, toothbrush, fresh underwear and "interface device", fly, deliver my PowerPoint presentations and be VeryCool like the dude in the TV commercials?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Folks,
I think the PPC/Projector/Powerpoint oroblem is solved with this cool gadget. Ordered 2Dec, will advise when it arrives, tests.
Seems to have killer reviews. Runs xga via BlueTooth, but the processor is pentium based in the device! Weight is only 3 oz. Kinda excited to get it for presentations using the 8525 without carrying the 3.6ghz Alienware m7700.
This is fab stuff. Solves so many problems and especially of carrying notebooks. Thanks for sharing.
O'k, it's Saturday, less than 168 hours since ordering the Igo interface from Page Computers at the lowest price in the InfoShere.
Now, Page Computers has a heap of bad raps. Reading thru many purely vitriolic puss pops left me wondering if Page was REALLY all that bad or if Page prices just attracted buttheads. A fair question, that.
I investigated their purchase screens and liked the look and feel. So, what makes these AwfulOpEds useful? O'k, statistically speaking, maybe, but what if the sample space is composed of mostly bottom feeding, pond scum sucking, communist pig dawgs? Or, lawyers? Same difference, no? <grn>
Exec Summ: Ordered device. It arrived USPS (cheapest shipping) today, less than 5 business days later.
No, it has NOT been tested, but the faux leather zipcase will also hold 1) toothbrush & paste, 2) razor, shaving cream and lotion, 3) mouthwash, 4) underwear and hairspray. Plus, New Jersey sized toll road change. How much better does it get? <grn>
First, arranging an 8525 marriage Bluetooth style is more difficult than anything y'all might imagine in Tennessee!
Here's a link to the Bluetooth setup: http://www.mobilityelectronics.com/h...0Guide-Web.pdf
Without it, I was a couple hours and a few jars of Ol' Loudmouth dead in the water.
Then, sliking beaten to the InfoBahn, I found Page 14 above.
Step by step, the most cogent American English user tech instructions I've ever read. Worked perfectly and the Igo device "runs like a hose."
Got BlueToothaces?
Read from page 14. . .
Or, don't.
I used QuickPoint (comes in the software download) to convert a couple PowerPoints. Flawless.
BUT, get this:
You lose 1) animation, 2) sound
Therefore, think "Slide Show" (annimation is easy given multiple panels, right?).
It is a "Business Presentation," not a multi-media entertainment show. Adjust your thinking. Make YOU, not the media CenterStage, else the BigBucks go elsewher, no?
What happens is, the PowerPoint .ppt is dragged and dropped onto the QuickPoint panel where it is converted and stored by the ActiveSynch connected PPC. I prefer using the Storage Card.
The IGO interface (3 ozs weight, 32meg) is powered, the Bluetooth dongle in place (already "married" to the PPC . . NOT a trivial process first time!) after being connected by the video projector's VGA cable. Could be yours or a MediaCenter's. Resolution can be XGA (1024x768), aspect ration 16:9, 4:3, Native; it all works flawlessly with my Infocus LP70+.
SHAZAM!!
The projector gets driven by the Igo and its logo appears. Amazing how IGO cows one of these recalcitrant, basically evil beasts!
Next, from the PPC, start Quickpoint, select the presentation file, tell Quickpoint to use the Bluetooth connect, then (how easy is this?), select Start.
The PPC begins downloading the presentation whilst you sup a cup of java (or a beer). It takes a minute or two (faster you want? then, connect the PPC to IGO by USB cable).
Voila!
The first slide is onscreen.
The PPC Up/Down toggle advances/reverses slides. I prefer to intall a 2nd USB dongle for my LaserPointer/SelectorVeryCoolDevice which works flawlessly.
What you MUST know:
1) Power PPC externally OR, set it to NOT shut off on battery power. That stops the show.
2) If show stops, just reselect presentation and tap Start, the IGO "knows" not to reload; re-find your place
3) telephone calls, e-mails, text messages, other apps running are NO BOTHER to the IGO presentation.
Exec Summ:
The thing is a High WOW device.
Compared to a PC it is smaller, lighter, way cooler, BUT a TechNovelty, I think. You must build a compelling reason to spend $250. I did.
Will I use it?
Oh, yeah!
Every dang chance I get!!!
I like this product but I have just notice the latest Dell Axim has an option to buy a VGA adaptor cable. Ok not got the wow factor of this device, but it comes in at £15 UK....just something for people to consider.
