  • Have you tried doing a presentation with your mobile device (rather than a laptop)? It can be tricky. Here are some tips:
    • With a Dock Connector to VGA Adapter you can connect an iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation) to your television, projector, or VGA display.
    • GoodReader for iPad allows you to view and project PDF files as well as highlight and annotate them.
    • If you place your presentation into Dropbox you can project it from there.
    • Two browsers that will do Flash files on your iPad are Atomic Web and Skyfire.
