It has VGA-out. Would make a nice video source for a projector.
I don’t think it’s powerful enough for full-on Powerpoint presentations (with effects for example.)

I might try that out if I get time.

Looks like an intriguing little device. Two questions:<br/>1. Any idea on approximate cost?<br/>2. What kind of outputs does it have? I'm thinking specifically of hooking it up to a projector to use for PP presentations; much easier than the limitations of a remote, or of having to walk back to the laptop to adjust the image.

The files that other pmps normally stumble on.<br/><br/>Much appreciated. Hi Steve,

is there any chance you could try out some of the newer video codecs when you do your media tests? x264, x264 with high res, wmv, rm quicktime. The files that other pmps normally stumble on.

Much appreciated.

I should have elaborated on that. <br/><br/>THe problem is that the screen is too small for use with customers. The on screen keyboard is limited too (maybe installing windows XP Tablet Edition on the 512M version is possible)<br/><br/>As a personal device its very good and I'd be happy to take this away for a 2 day conference as my comms and entertainment device.<br/><br/>Steve.

A question, though:<br/><br/>When you say "Definitely not 'business class'" - what does that mean to you? Steve - thanks! A question, though:

When you say “Definitely not ‘business class’” - what does that mean to you?

That solves the bedroom and sofa usage problems. <br/>Also found a setting where the mouse disc is switched into cursor key mode. Useful for gaming. <br/><br/>I ran Need For Speed (a very old version) and it worked OK. In fact, not much worse than on the eo v7110.

Can't wait to get it. Hopefully the retail versions will be bit cooler temperature wise. Are you going to also try to burn a dvd with it through usb? Jerry. Thanks Steve.

I want one of these things but I also wanted to ask a few questions. <br/>How was the feel of the silver mouse pad? Do you think it would work for light gaming like say for an nes emulator? Do the other buttons have any clicky or give to them and are they easy to press? Did you try hardware screen rotation yet? Is the device going to be too hot to handle for long use periods? Thank you.
