I am a trainer who facilitates seminars. My presentations are made w/ a laptop (using PowerPoint), a LCD projector and a large wall mounted screeen. Is there software/hardware available that will allow me to use a Palm rather than a laptop?

At one time, Margi had a product called "Presenter-to-Go" but the company does not respond to phone calls nor e-mails :confused: .

I would appreciate your help!
 
You don't mention what Palm you have. Rumor has it that one or two of the pins in the multiconnector on the T|X (and I guess the LifeDrive, T5, etc.) is for video out, but it is a yet-to-be-implemented feature. I've seen video-out SDIO cards for the PocketPC, but not for a Palm device yet. Other than pointing a video camera at your Palm and then projecting that, I don't think there's any way to get your Palm display to show up on a overead LCD panel projection thingie.
 
You will need a display adaptor that plugs into your SD card slot. Unfortunately, this occupies the SD slot, so your files have to be stored on the internal memory. If there was a bluetooth or Wi-Fi option to communicate with a projector, that would be the best.

Software wise, it is possible to view and edit PowerPoint files with Documents To Go and Quick Office. I don't know if these programs work with a display adaptor or not.
