Nokia N95 for PowerPoint Presentations
Posted by nokian95phone on November 20, 2007
The Nokia N95 is a great smart phone and although it’s a multimedia smart phone, it can be made into a great business quite easily with all the apps available for it.
I’ve recently discovered a great little Symbian Series60 application called PhonePoint over at youpark.com. PhonePoint turns your cell phone into a Bluetooth PowerPoint controller so you can use your cell phone for PowerPoint presentations instead of standing by the laptop and using the mouse or keyboard. I run IT workshops quite often, so this little app has become a favorite. I can now use my N95 to remotely move forward, backward and restart my presentation. It frees me from the laptop and allows me to interact more with my audience, which make for a much better workshop.
You need a Symbian Series60 smart phone like my Nokia N95 of course but the app can also be used on the Nokia E60, Nokia N70, Nokia N90, Panasonic X800, Samsung i520, in fact, any smart phone that runs the Symbian Series60 OS. The other requirements are
• Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 or later.
• Windows XP or Windows Vista.
• Bluetooth PC support.
These shouldn’t be a problem as most laptops have Bluetooth support, run at least Windows XP, and a much newer version of PowerPoint.
If you make PowerPoint presentations often, I’d recommend this app. The app sells for only $20 but can down load a free trial from youpark.com.
