RIM Unveils BlackBerry Presenter for PowerPoint On-the-Go

Research In Motion has introduced a new device called the BlackBerry Presenter, which allows traveling businesspeople to give PowerPoint presentations via a BlackBerry smartphone, without the need for a laptop or other PC.

The pocket-sized device was unveiled at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It can be plugged into a projector, then controlled wirelessly using a Bluetooth-enabled BlackBerry device. Users can also transfer entire PowerPoint presentations onto the Presenter, which has enough internal memory to store about 100 slides.

“If you do PowerPoint presentations, you can leave the laptop behind,” said Research In Motion’s director of public relations, Shelly Sofer. “We see the use of this for the road warrior, and it can be left in a corporation board room so anyone can go in and do a presentation without having to pull out cables or mess with resolution.”
