Video Output on Polaris

[feaps]

Folks,

Is there a mini-USB to VGA (or S-Video) compatible with the TC?
Every now and then I see some PDAs with a VGA cable. That would be perfect for using the Pocket PowerPoint on the go.

Best,

If you really want to see a concept to blow your mind then look at this: http://www.infrablue.co.uk/index.php?a=irmabluetooth

These solutions have been available for Palm devices for years (at least 5 years) and the one I linked to above looks quite old and out of date. I can't understand why someone big hasn't taken up this concept and done it really well e.g. one of the big projector manufacturers or a big-name computer peripheral manufacturer like Logitech or Microsoft's hardware division.

The infrablue device looks dated (only SVGA resolution) and, although it's smaller than it looks in the pictures, I suspect that with today's technology it could be made no bigger then the Touch Cruise itself. It's also pretty ugly.

I would just love a solution like the above at 1024 x 768 resolution, about the size of a cigarette packet, and drivable directly from Mobile PowerPoint. As long as you could map the buttons appropriately then you could hold your TC upside down in your hand (i.e. Dpad at the top) and be able to cycle through your presentation just like a TV weather presenter holding the clicker below their waist.

Here's something I stumbled upon. Not sure how it would work though.

SCART connector?
Never heard of it...looks pretty phreakin cool though, heh. Maybe if they had somethin like that that would work with HDMI or SVideo, etc. it would be alot better.
Also, that microSD adapter thing definately DID blow my mind...crazy stuff! :)

Thanks folks. You guys kick arse!

JulianL, the InfraBlue realy got me. Especially because it allows me to keep my microSD for storage. Besides, I dont't feel like the MicroSD was made to handle lots of connections/disconnections.

But thanks for the reply from everybody else.

Has anyone already used the InfraBlue with the TC? Way too many bucks to spend before making sure it does the thing.

Thx once more,
