I was just taking a look at Inside BlackBerry and it looks like RIM has an new BlackBerry called the BlackBerry Presenter which allows you to wirelessly present PowerPoint, PDF, and other images directly from your BlackBerry.
The BlackBerry Presenter information page, http://www.blackberry.com/presenter (at the time of this posting) is not live yet, however, we do have system requirements and a few more pictures after the jump…
BlackBerry Presenter System Requirements
- To use BlackBerry® Presenter, you will need a video output device and a VGA cable or an S-Video cable.
- BlackBerry Presenter is not supported by the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8300 Series and/or BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8200 Series smartphones.
- Upgrading BlackBerry® Presenter firmware requires (a) an Intel® compatible computer with an available USB port that is compliant with USB 1.1 or higher and that is running the Microsoft Windows XP® or later operating system and (b) BlackBerry® Device Software v4.6 or later.
For $200 I’d rather just carry a netbook…
The BlackBerry Presenter is small, but, I just don’t see someone walking in with one of these things in their pocket. It’s probably going to be in a briefcase or bag of some sort.
I’m with you on this one Norman… For 200 bucks I’d rather carry a netbook too and still get the convenience of not having to carry laptop bag…
Crap… expensive piece of crap.
