RIM Introduces BlackBerry Presenter

Blackberry Presenter designed for PowerPoint presentations on the go

BlackBerry Presenter is an accessory for BlackBerry smartphones that plugs into a projector or monitor, then lets the user display a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation wirelessly from their BlackBerry smartphone.

“Mobile professionals are always looking to carry less when travelling,” said Glenn Laxdal, Vice President, Product Management, Research In Motion. “BlackBerry Presenter equips mobile professionals with a simple, secure and convenient way to deliver presentations directly from their BlackBerry smartphone, giving them the freedom to leave their laptops behind.”

BlackBerry Presenter gives users easy control of their presentations, allowing them to navigate their presentations, view speaker notes, loop presentation slides and even reference information on one slide while displaying another. A Bluetooth connection between the BlackBerry smartphone and BlackBerry Presenter allows users can also walk around freely while presenting.
