Present using your mobile
If you’re going to present a work progress to your client and ain’t got a MacBook you’re possibly sticking near to your Laptop to press the space bar. Today I tried a new trick, I controlled my slides using my mobile, with a Bluetooth connection, I could sit near the people and do the drill. Totally cool, pressing “6” for the next slide, “4” for the previous.
All I had to do was turning my Laptop on and sit back with my people. I launched Powerpoint, went through my slides, then turned the Bluetooth RC into mouse controller mode and maximized Firefox and navigated through the site we’ve made. That was impressive for everyone.
Everybody was like, wow, we didn’t know this phone could do that, and it kindda’ stole the thunder from our work too!
It ain’t the phone, it’s a little software called Bluetooth RC and it costs as little as $12.95. It does magic.
Drawbacks! I received an SMS while presenting, well, Flightmode disables the Bluetooth radios as well so no chance but having it on(I just found a way to disable GSM network while phone is on). Another is the fact that I had to convert my Flash presentation into Powerpoint.
Note: Do not count on the trial version, it’s limited to only 6 clicks and it’ll stop after that.
