Video out from PocketPC

Is there any way that I can get "video-out" from a PocketPC, for viewing the screen on a monitor, via projector or TV.

This will be used for presentation of TomTom in exhibitions or for companies in plenum.

Zeena, never seen one for any pocket PC. You can get a program that allows you to control pocket pc from a pc, which needs to be installed on the PC and requires Active Sync - have a look at Handango or Tucows...

Sure, you can use any of the remote control packages. For example RemoteDisplay from the Microsoft Power Toys.

Don't expect lightning fast updates though, even over WiFi - it will show quite some lag.

Thanks for your help. This work...

I think this will do the job.

I agree that it could be nicer without the lag.

Actually no - those are merely PowerPoint solutions. What you want is to present the Pocket PC Screen...

Nice projector, but pretty pricey - and they don't mention the noise level - one of the deciding factors for home cinema.

Should work great over WiFi as well.

Can it do GAPI? Remember, most newer TomTom versions use GAPI, and not many remote control tools understand that.
Worst case you end up presenting a completely different screen.

I use SOTI and it works well, the latest version certainly works with TT Mobile so that suggests GAPI is no longer an issue.

I'll second SOTI - been using it for 18 months or so and it's brilliant.
