APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide
531
Presentation Software
Most of the document-management software listed earlier
can handle viewing PowerPoint files. Chances are slim
that you’ll need to actually present from your Android
phone; however, if you need to, you can use Docs to Go
or the slideshow feature in your phone gallery in a pinch.
At this time, the DROID and DROID 2 do not support TV
out, so you can’t just plug the device into a TV or monitor
and see video images. This is a hardware – not software –
limitation, so most of us actually giving presentations
using Android phones are stuck projecting them from an
overhead projector. However, the DROID X does come
with TV-out capabilities, which means you can present
slideshows from your phone. This also means you can
pair them with portable projectors that take standard TV
connections, use the MightyMeeting app, and leave the
PC behind. Table A–5 shows some presentation options.
