Impatica debuts free ShowMate update for BlackBerry screen projection

BlackBerry users -- Windows Mobile, Sony Ericsson, and Palm will have to wait -- got a preview of a free update for their portable powerpoint presentation tool from Impatica at CTIA today. Using their handset, Bluetooth, and a Showmate presentation tool, users will be able to project the contents of their BlackBerry onto an overhead. The Impatica Showmate itself remains unchanged, it still sports the same VGA port for connecting to a projector, the powercord, and of course the base functionality remains the same. We had a quick visit with the tool and were able to wander though our site without issue, and really, you can't lose with a free update to an already cool product. Hit the read link for more info.

The comprehensive guide to presenting from your pocket

It's no secret that a combination of software and hardware can turn virtually any smartphone into a serviceable PowerPoint viewer, but tracking down the necessary bits and pieces can be a tiresome exercise. Comptuerworld's done us all a favor, throwing together a guide detailing the steps needed to get a slide deck fired up and shot out to a projector via BlackBerrys and Treos (both Palm and Windows Mobile-based models); iPods are also covered, but being that we're Engadget Mobile, we're going to claim ignorance and pretend we've no idea what an iPod is. Running $250 and up, the suggested hardware isn't cheap, but for the road warrior who can't be bothered to tote along a legit PC, $250 may be a small price to pay.
