Hi Neil, great that it worked. Have a nice week. Knut

I bought a Kensington Bluetooth Presenter and it works perfectly. Just Bluetooth and no driver installation. Pairing without problems. (I tried pairing with my Lumia 900 and an iPad - both failed somehow.) Knut

I just happen to have another idea. Bluetooth does not require the installation of software, as far as I know. What about using a bluetooth laser pointer with ppt support and using a cable (HDMI) to connect to the projector? So I could walk the room (10 - 30 m) and proceed with the...

Thanks for the own topic. Having read the hands on and seen the pics I, too, think that this might work were it not for the software installation on RT. Thanks. Knut

Nice, Thanks. (Boxee Cloud DVR (formerly Boxee TV) lets you stream broadcast TV channels) (With Roku, fall in love with TV time all over again.) They talk TV, I guess. For Surface: I can hook it up to a projector via its HDMI output. No problem. I can have a ppt on the Surface, fine. Now the...

I agree, I cannot just walk in. But I can just walk in with an Apple TV which can be hooked up via HDMI or VGA - an HDMI to VGA converter is required - to a projector. And - you certainly know it - I need something like a hotspot or wifi to connect the Apple TV and the iDevice. But these all are...

As far as PPT and the iPad is concerned I use a PC with PPT to start the presentation with my basic structure and outline. To get the ppt file into Keynote for iPad I use dropbox. Once inside Keynote I refine the presentation. Then I either use Keynote Remote from another iDevice or simply...

Yes, you are correct, it can be done. With a "little" screwing here and setting up there and a higher price tag. But I am not the guy who wants to continuously "optimize" my gadgets. And yes, AirPlay is a proprietary concept, but with AppleTV it works out of the box, always and everywhere. This...

yep, that is close to it. Now replace a TV with a projector and it even gets more complicated with a Surface RT or Android tablet. As far as I know there is only the airplay alternative left. And this leaves us with an iPad. Knut

If you want to walk the room AND show info on your device you would need a long long long cable, would you not? With the iPad and AirPlay there is no need for a cable. If you can show me a solution to do this with a Surface RT or android tablet I will be very grateful. And I am not talking about...

Have you ever tried to give a presentation and while doing it walk the room to get into closer contact with your audience? I own an iPad and a Surface RT and it is only with the iPad that I can do it. What I want to point out is that an iPad Mini might not be that much useless, and of course...

For me and my RT it works perfectly out of the box. Could you try another HDMI cable?

Maybe this is an alternative, if I understand what you want to to: I assume you have a smartphone as well. Then, you could use it to control the PPT presention on your Pro with iclickr. This is supposed to work with Android, Windows Phone and iOS Devices. The result: you connect your Pro to the...

So, I did it and it worked. Thanks again. But there is one thing I do not really understand. (My setting - mail client connected to an Exchange server.) Normally, i.e. on a windows x86 machine, after "Invite someone you trust" - there are the options to "save" the file or to "send it with...

Thanks for the quick answer. I will give it a try tonight. Knut

Hi Arnold, thanks for sharing the pic of your RT screen on another machine. I have been looking for such a solution. Unfortunately, I am not aware of HOW you did it. When I - on my Surface - go to system and remote - I can click to accept remote connections. But when I want to connect from...

As far as the iPad is concerned there are a bunch of apps which will do the job. One for instance is PDF Merger for about $/€ 2. But as we are here at a Windows RT forum - yes, a good PDF manager would be nice. Knut

Hi, I am looking for a way to control a PowerPoint presentation on Surface RT - connected to a projector via the HDMI port - either from a Windows Phone 7.x/8, or from an Android phone or from an iOS device. I know how to do it on a Windows XP/7/8 machine (remote control app on phone and...

The other day, I connected the surface to a projector. I used it to mirror what I did on the surface. Unfortunately the resolution of the projector was below what was necessary to start metro apps. (maybe just a wrong setting from my part) So I could only show the start and lock screen and the...

I bought a mumbi micro HDMI 2 m cable from amazon.de and it works perfectly. It was € 5.50. Knut
