Cell phones today can do it all, its a wonder they haven't given them new names such as hand held computers. For a a couple of months Blackberry's have fallen to the reign of "Android"! Oh wait whats that you say blackberry is not going without a fight?? Well seems blackberry has a new gadget on the way that just might save the day...well at least some of their customers. Blackberry is coming out with a new device called the Presenter which is a 3.4in x 2.4in boxlike device that you plug into a projector or monitor. It uses bluethooth connection to display Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 from your phone. Not only are you able to use PowerPoint but you can also present Adobe PDF files. In order to do this all you need is the the Presenter and to download the software to your phone and to your desktop at home. Once you plug the Presenter in click present and you are ready to go!
The system requirements are as follows:
- You must have BlackBerry Presenter software
- A desktop running Microsoft Windows XP or a later operation system
- Desktop must have a USB 1.1 or higher
- A BlackBerry device running v4.6 or higher
- Video Output device and a VGA cable or an S-Video cable
The Key features of the Presenter are:
- Loop Mode
- Support for PowerPoint effects
- Freeze Mode
- Bluethooth connection
- Multiple video formats.
This device will save plenty of people, especially people who are always on the road and traveling for their company. It will come in handy, I just hope some people don't leave their laptops at home on purpose now!
Good post, Devonta. Great information and I loved the picture. I would really like to see the presenter in action.
