Presentation Software - Motorola DROID Manual

Presentation Software

Most of the document-management software listed earlier
can handle viewing PowerPoint files. Chances are slim
that you'll need to actually present from your Android
phone; however, if you need to, you can use Docs to Go
or the slideshow feature in your phone gallery in a pinch.
At this time, the DROID and DROID 2 do not support TV
out, so you can't just plug the device into a TV or monitor
and see video images. This is a hardware – not software –
limitation, so most of us actually giving presentations
using Android phones are stuck projecting them from an
overhead projector. However, the DROID X does come
with TV-out capabilities, which means you can present
slideshows from your phone. This also means you can
pair them with portable projectors that take standard TV
connections, use the MightyMeeting app, and leave the
PC behind. Table A–5 shows some presentation options.

Notes
This app enables you to give PowerPoint
and Keynote presentations from your
DROID. It can be used to either lead or
attend live conferences with invited
attendees. Files must first be uploaded to
your MightyMeeting account before they
become available as presentations. More
information is available at
www.mightymeeting.com.
Oration Sensation is a presentation timer
that offers vibrating timed alerts at preset
intervals. You can save a list of
presentation types, such as "short sales
pitch" or "conference presentation," and
keep your phone in your pocket. The alerts
will let you know when it's time to switch
slides or move to Q&A.
