Computers have changed a lot since the early days, going from machines the size of buildings to devices not much bigger than a stack of paper. The next big step in this evolution is the tablet computer<\/a>, and leading the charge is the Apple iPad. With a multitude of useful features including the ability to draft and present presentations<\/a>, businesses have been adopting the iPad in larger numbers.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the road and give lots of presentations, the iPad can be the perfect tool as it allows you to leave the laptop at home, or in the hotel room. Here are three programs that are great for creating and giving presentations on the iPad, and what you need to give presentations on big-screens such as projectors and TVs.<\/p>\n

Keynote<\/strong>
\nKeynote is Apple\u2019s presentation software. With this app, users can create some really professional looking presentations with ease. The one downside to Keynote is that it has trouble interacting with presentations created using Microsoft PowerPoint. Some fonts, clipart and animations used by PowerPoint and not Apple, will simply not copy over.<\/p>\n

SlideShark<\/strong>
\nSlideShark is perfect for users who aren\u2019t comfortable with Keynote or are more comfortable with Microsoft PowerPoint. It works by uploading your presentations using SlideShark, converting them into a format the iPad can read and syncing them with the iPad. This is a great app for users of PCs.<\/p>\n

Power Presenter<\/strong>
\nThis app is for presenters who want to give presentations on a projector, as its main purpose is to make it easier for the iPad and projectors to sync with one another. After you\u2019ve finished your presentation, save it as a PDF and hook up your iPad to the projector you\u2019ll be using. The app will simultaneously show the presentation on the screen and your iPad. This app is good if you don\u2019t have the time to set up the projector whenever you give a presentation.<\/p>\n

What You Need to Give Presentations<\/strong>
\nWhen you switch over to using the iPad for presentations, you\u2019ll need two adapters that allow you to hook the iPad up to the various different visual outputs e.g., TV screens and projector units.<\/p>\n

The first adapter is a VGA adapter which will allow you to connect your iPad to the majority of projectors. When you give a presentation using a projector, plug the VGA cable into your iPad and the projector, and you should be ready to give your presentation.<\/p>\n

The second adapter is for TVs and projectors that use HDMI outputs. Apple calls this adapter a \u201cDigital AV Adapter\u201d and it can be found on the Apple Store. When you plug in the adapter, your display should show up on both the screen and your iPad.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about using your iPad to give presentations or other uses for your Apple products, please contact us. We\u2019re more than happy to sit down and discuss solutions with you.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
