(More customer reviews)I bought this product for a Windows Mobile 6.5 PDA. After installing all new versions of software onto desktop computers, the file conversion and transfer from desktop to the PDA is easy. The file was compressed about 20 times (35M to 1.7M). I tried to use this ShowMate to do Powerpoint presentation onto a projector. The recognition of ShowMate by the projector was very smooth and the screen of the projector showed ShowMate and indicated trying connection between the PDA and the ShowMate. Once opening the software Impatica Projector in the PDA, it searched bluetooth device and found the ShowMate easily; it then popped up for passcode. After inputting passcode, it always showed CANNOT CONNECT, but in many cases it connected and started file transfer. The resolution of the powerpoint slides were great, but I had problems with bluetooth connection (lost connection) when a individual silde size is too big. So I think this device would be great for files with small size for each slide (e.g. most text in the slide), but it is not working for slides of large size. I think the problem was, when it transfers a slide with large size, the memory of the ShowMate is not enough so it interferes with bluetooth connection. This device might be good for people who present mostly texts but not big-sized images. My slides contain many scientific images having pretty large size, it did not work well.
On the other hand, the Screen Projector software works very well in my hand. It may need to change your screen settings in your PDA in order to have a correct image direction of your PDA screen onto the projector screen. The transfer speed is not very fast but endurable. You can notice obvious delay from your PDA to the projector. But it is very good to have the screen projection function of this device. Anything showing on your PDA screen is showing on the projector screen. Original PowerPoint slides (without compression by the Impatica software) in your PDA can be projected to the projector screen by using Screen Projector software but the resolution is clearly reduced (no resolution reduction when using Impatica Projector).
Overall, it is a interesting device for handhelds computers and Windows phones, but it still needs improvement for its wider use.
