Ok, this is impressive! Check this out:"With Powerpoint Remote 2004 you can: start a Powerpoint Presentation, which is opened in Powerpoint (Joystick up), next (Joystick right), previous (Joystick left), end Presentation (Joystick down)."
Not for the faint of heart, but it looks fairly simple to install and get working - I love the idea of being able to use a Smartphone to control a PowerPoint presentation. Right now it's only working on Smartphone 2003, and you have to have the eVB runtimes installed. You also need Bluetooth on your Smartphone, because it looks like it uses ActiveSync as the conduit - which really limits the range. Suddenly WiFi on my Smartphone seems like a great idea. ;-) I don't have a Bluetooth Smartphone to test this out with, but I'd really like to hear from someone how well this app works. Give it a try and let us know!
