Hi Thomas, you can even do presentations of PDFs with an iPod touch. You will need a dock connector/ TV out cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/ ht1454). In iOS 4, you have direct support of PDFs, i.e. you can copy PDFs directly to your iPod. Before that, you needed a separate app to view PDFs. As for PDF features, you'll be somewhat limited as to what the viewers support. For instance, movies within PDFs won't work. Also, I don't think there is a way to use clickers to control the iPod/ iPad. Matthias On Jul 19, 2010, at 1:51 PM, Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:
Hi all,
this is slightly OT, but maybe someone here has a helpful suggestion: since the announcement of Apple's iPad, tablets have become the rage. I am somewhat underwhelmed by this type of computer, but I see one area where it might be interesting to have one of those babies, and that's presentations. What I'm dreaming about: a tablet that would be able to show my manuscript (of course, a pdf produced with ConTeXt) on it's own screen and drive a presentation (again, pdf) on an external screen/digital projector. That way, I would need only one technical device, no paper etc. for my presentations. I even called Apple, but they said there is no app yet for doing this on an iPad. Do any of you have any insights: is there anything on the market yet that would make this possible? Is it at all feasible? Does it sound like a reasonable idea?
All best
