ZappTek updates iPresent It

As you may be aware, in the Microsoft Office 2008, Microsoft has made it easy to save Powerpoint files in JPEG format so that they can easily be ported to the iPhone or iPod to be displayed there. iPresent It however takes this concept at least a step further.

ZappTek has announced version 2.3 of iPresent It, their easy to use slideshow-to-iPod utility for Windows and Mac OS X. iPresent It allows anyone to easily convert PowerPoint, PDF or Keynote presentations into slideshows that are synced with their iPod. This makes iPresent It particularly suited for doing presentations on the go: never carry a laptop into a presentation again. Of course it is possible to connect the iPod and iPhone to a projector if desired with the purchase of the proper cable from the Apple Store.

Version 2.3 automatically detects portrait documents and optimizes the pages for reading on an iPhone or iPod touch.

Feature Highlights in Version 2.3:
* Works with any iPod with a color display.
* Optimizes slideshows for viewing via an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
* Create slideshow images from any of your Keynote, PowerPoint or PDF presentations.
* Automatically save slideshows to iPhoto or Aperture.
* Easily update slideshows whenever changes are made to a presentation.
* Full drag and drop support for adding presentations.
* Easily remove slideshows when they are no longer needed.
* Preview slides as they're converted into a slideshow.
* Works with digital cameras and projectors that support USB flash drives.

Supported Languages:
* US English

System Requirements:
* Requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later
* Windows XP or Vista
* 1.4 MB Hard Drive space
* Any iPod with a color screen

Getting Started:
Use the + button to add PowerPoint, Keynote and PDF files. In the preferences select iPhoto or a Folder for saving slideshows. After that use the Create Slideshows button to convert the presentations into slideshows. They'll be transferred to iPod the next time you sync via iTunes.

To run a presentation, connect the iPod to a projector or television using an iPod A/V cable provided by Apple. Select the presentation within "Photos" and press the play button to start the presentation. You'll need to make sure you have TV Out activated. We suggest that you select "Manual" for the iPod's "Time Per Slide" setting this will ensure you have full control of your presentation.

Purchasing iPresent It:
iPresent It 2.3 remains priced at $17.95 USD with free update for existing users. The trial version limits slideshows to the first 6 slides of a presentation. Users can purchase from within iPDA by selecting "Purchase iPresent It ..." in the application menu or visit the ZappTek website.
