Question

I'm sure I've read about a handheld device (PDA/Pocket PC etc.) that will accept PowerPoint files and drive a projector through a serial port. I want to buy one now but can't track one down - any ideas?

HP Jornada is the one I Use with the scaled down version of Office.

Dunno if this is what you're after.

Thanks Richard - email on its way.

AVI - Thanks, I've had another look at the Jornada. The 7-series appear to be the only one with PowerPoint but its not clear if they will drive a projector via a serial link.
