Wireless powerpoint presentation from i-mate JAM through BT

Tremendous thanks to those who enable me to upgrade the ROM to version 1.11, which allows me to select the bluetooth com port.
I am now able to deliver powerpoint presentations (1024 x 768 resolutions) remotely from my i-mate JAM through a bluetooth device iGo Pitch Duo produced by Mobility Electronics.
All I need to do is:
1. Plug the vga cord of the LCD projector into Pitch Duo (with a bluetooth USB adaptor)
2. Power on the Pitch Duo
3. Run iPresent on my pocket PC, at a distance of up to 10 m from the projector.
I had been frustrated because of buying this product then to realise that it does not work on my i-mate JAM of older ROM versions.
Wow, that sounds great. But 329€... hmm.

They claimed it would be available for 279$, meaning 215€... that sounds fair to me. But well, this way they won't get me as customer.
My old fave was Presenter to Go

sadly their SD version seems to be palm only.

This is the Antutu score. Used the BETA motherboard yet:
Looks good but you never know how well the software will be optimized to the device. The stick has fewer inputs as opposed to the consoles. You also never know how well the WiFi work...The stick are usually a better price. I think I will hold off until a few reviews from actual owners come in. (Not just reviewers)

My nexus 9 is basically a cheap laptop!!

Here is my setup: Android nougat stable, exkernel with cpu clocked to 2499 and gpu at 918. Got the Taskbar app, freeform window mode in enabled, a chromecast (Though I might get a mhl cabable). Got an otg cable along with a usb hub and mouse/keyboard in the mail rn. Tv is 32" 1080p. Let me just say second screen completely blows andromium or any other cast app I've tried out of the water. There is a slight lag but it's surprisingly really low. Check out the photo I took

You just saved me from wasting my money. I just assumed it would be supported because for it not to be is the most lazy ridiculous crap I've encountered from a Google product. Now I'm disappointed
@tdct12 I highly recommend you try underclocking it(cpu). The performance is actually better for me, even in benchmarks. Try it!

Using with a SlimPort adapter

Has anyone used a SlimPort adapter to connect to a TV? I wonder if you get true 1080p @ 60Hz.
Also, is there a specific adapter model that you have to get to guarantee that it'll work? I'm thinking about getting this one:

As you can see in THIS article, SlimPort has 36 bpp color depth, resolution of 1080r / 60 frames per second and average rate of data transmission of 480 Mbit/second .
I have connected using a cheap eBay slimport adapter . The adapter worked with my LG G2 as well. I can't confirm the resolution you seek however.
I'm completely thrilled that this phone is packed with EVERYTHING. First I was a little sad when I saw that it doesn't support MHL.. Then I read about this slimport thingy here and understood that slimport is basically the same (you just need different adaptors)
Apart slimport in device specification mentioned is "3.5mm AV connector" .
AV means Audio-Video?
So is there RCA support too (like in Galaxy S or Nokia 808 pureview)?

[INFO] Huawei D16 has no sata connector

Hi,
Recently i bought a Huawei D16 notebook with i7-12700H and not finding any info about this model, if has an internal sata port, i opened my new notebook to discover if i can use my old sata ssd as additional disk.
Surprise, does not have the internal sata connector as it's predecessor.
Below you can find an image with his internals, only the nvme disk can be upgraded, to only 1TB i think.

Yup I was just looking this model, thanks for the info. Ram is soldered as well. The least they could've done is add another m2 nvme slot.
I think i will go with dell Latitude 5531, at least they are upfront with he ram so I can choose 16 gigs and i7-12800H. No luck finding picture of the motherboard... it seems to be new redesigned version for alder lake.
This is the old one I know because the ram is soldered on the new one No 16:10 screen tho, only 15.6" FHD
I bought the Latitude 5531, Ram is not soldered. 2022 model with i7 12800h
Pretty much same as the above picture.
