Tired of lugging your bulky laptop around just to give
presentations? With the VGA Adapter and supporting software, business users can
make use of the much more portable iPad for this task. A number of software
supports the VGA Adapter, such as the free Presentation App, or Apple's own Keynote.
Getting the presentation onto the iPad will probably require the requisite
files to be synced in advance, though some of the presentation software
supports alternative means of moving the files over. And unless you create the
presentation on the iPad, you will probably want to first check that the
transferred files display as expected.
As an added bonus, Apple has also promised a future update
that will allow Keynote presentations to be streamed via AirPlay to an Apple TV.
While not terribly useful for conference rooms where projectors are still
predominantly VGA-based (the new Apple TV is HDMI only), the capability offers
compelling value in certain scenarios – such as being able to conduct a
presentation using a large-screen plasma or LCD at a trade show using an iPad.
