THE BLACKBERRY PRESENTER
A must have for mobile professionals
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/accessories/presenter/
In the 90's an unknown company from Waterloo, Ontario took the world by storm. Research in Motion forever shifted the business and communication paradigm with their revolutionary Blackberry device.
RIM has hit the bullseye once again with the new Blackberry Presenter.
Thanks to the new Blackberry Presenter you can leave your laptop at home when you present at business meetings and conferences. All you need is your compatible Blackberry, superlight Presenter, and the power supply. Simply connect to a HDTV, Plasma monitor or Projector via VGA or S-Video cable.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Simply download the free Presenter software either on your laptop or directly onto the device(data charges may apply)
Email and/or download the Powerpoint .PPT files onto your Blackberry.
Connect your Presenter to the Monitor or Projector.
If you are in the States make sure the Presenter is set to NTSC, not PAL.
Open up the Presenter application on your BB. Choose the Powerpoint presentation that you need for the meeting and click PRESENT in the Menu drop-down.
Hit the Sync button on the Presenter.
Choose the correct Presenter device and code on your BB screen.
Now that you are connected, you can decide what slides to display, intervals between slides, looping, freezing on a slide or going back or forward.
You may also "cheat" by viewing your Presenter notes on your BB during the Presentation. Your audience will never know your secret.
At $199.00 the Blackberry Presenter allows the mobile professional to travel light without being taken lightly.
Recommendations
I recommend saving Powerpoint Presentations on your Blackberry's Micro Sd
Carrying a back-up of your work on another SD or Flash-drive
Speaking with the Audio-Visual Technician in advance to ensure a Projector/Monitor, VGA and/or S-Video cable are available.
Make sure your BB is fully charged right before the meeting or you have a spare charged battery.
Compatible Blackberry Smartphones-
BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000
BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8500 Series*
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900*
BlackBerry® Storm™
BlackBerry® Tour™
The Curves that I mentioned in the video clip that will not work with the Presenter are the older versions like the 8100 and 8300 series.
The present video clip appears very dark as a result a new clip will be available shortly.
