Welcome to Brighthand, jmcarrillo! For a while there was an sd card based presentation gizmo but I'm not sure you can still get them. Even if you can get the hardware, I'm sure the software is "pre nvfs" which would be very risk on the TX. Interestingly enough, I just saw a Microsoft commercial where a guy went through airport security with nothing but his pda, arrived at his meeting and presented powerpoint slides from his handheld. Then somebody in the room asked "Is it a phone, too?". We can only hope a solution comes along for palm based presentations. Years spent ignoring pcmcia, then ignoring wifi have left palm out in the cold for many business applications that I have heard are somewhat easier to find on Pocket PC. Today's Microsoft commercial certainly goes out of its way to imply presenting from a smartphone or pda is possible.

Perhaps you can keep your presentation on sd card and get one of those sd card to usb adapters that's no bigger than a memory stick and ask your customer to let you user their machine. Oh, and you can carry the powerpoint viewer exe on the same sd card in case you are in a room where there's no powerpoint software.

Welcome to Brighthand, jmcarrillo.

Yes - it was called PresenterToGo - but I believe its been discontinued? Or is no longer supported? Or something else equally depressing?

That little faeture right there wuld make the TX an even better laptop replacement. It'd be nice if the would have a Video Out.

I use my TX when i give Palm trainings. A little device called a Pitch Duo. I use it for PowerPoint presentation and live screenshots. Check it out.
