Xoom Presentation Possible

[JerryRogan]

I've been asked to give a presentation on the Xoom/Android capabilities to a small group. Is there a convenient method of connecting to a projector for this purpose?

If not, can anyone recommend a screen capture app?

Silly questions, I know, but an area I havent learned about yet.

Thanks in advance...

Use the HDMI Micro (Type D) port on the bottom of the unit to HDMI (Type A)... cables are very cheap and come in various lengths at monoprice.com

Like Lactose said. However the projector is going to need an HDMI in.

I'm curious what you are going to present?

I'm working on the details, but will show some business apps, some personal apps, etc but mostly what the Xoom is, how it compares to the IPad 2 and how it has replaced 90% of my laptop usage.

The presentation will be made to a few active senior communities in Arizona, to folks 55 and up.

Thanks for the input, now I'll have to check on the HDMI port on the projector.

I find your presentation interesting. When I first got mine and was showing it to my folks (both 63), I said that I thought a tablet would be perfect for senior citizens. With widgets and easy access to applications as well as installation of applications, it would be so much easier for them to use than a PC. It would be even better if they had someone setting it up for them. I set my folks' up for them and they love it with easy access to everything, even video, hat through Google Talk.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm a retired software exec and really enjoy my Xoom. I speak frequently at adult communities and see way too much confusion with Windows taking place.

I know most projectors are VGA. Any way to interface - easily - to VGA?

Saw this on Amazon. Don't know if it works or not but it appears to have the right connectors at least.

I give presentations from my XOOM using an inexpensive HP converter and a simple mod for power.
