Touch Diamond running Powerpoint?

[Nobber]

Ok I'll probably get reamed for this...I would like to go out to visit potential customers and show them a powerpoint presentation direct from my phone without the need of a laptop, can this be done using the Touch Diamond or do I have to wait for the the Pro?

Thanks, I have searched the diamond threads but have been unable to find the answer

PS I should have been more specific, I want to run Powerpoint on the Touch but display the presentation on a monitor or projector

You can play a powerpoint but you can't show it on a projector (good luck ramming a VGA lead into the phone). The Touch Pro supports TV out though and would most likely let you do this. You can buy a laptop for less than the cost of a Touch Diamond or Touch pro though.

Actually there is a way to do this - its cost effective and reduces the amount of equipment you have to carry around with you. I've had one for over 2 years now and used it with various devices using the Bluetooth option and never had a problem?
