This allows output to TV and projectors up to XGA resolution more than sufficient pixels for video and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. We tried this out on an LCD TV and found it to be incredibly easy to use. nce mirrored on the screen the 8150′s screen goes blank. By moving the stylus on this blank display you can then control the mouse pointer on the LCD TV–just like how you would use a desktop tablet pointing device from companies like Wacom.

Therefore if you are keen to keep the plastic screen protector on when accessing various PDA functions you will have to forego the use of two of the side buttons and reconfigure these as the left and right softkeys. FeaturesAs with most Windows-based PDAs today the rx4540 operates on Windows Mobile 5. 0 software for Pocket PC and includes all of Microsoft’s productivity applications such as Word PowerPoint and Excel as well as utlook Mobile for email and calendar tasks. The iPAQ also offers persistent storage support so your data is retained even when the handheld runs out of battery power. This should cater to most mobile users hoping to utilise the iPAQ for more than entertainment purposes. With Media Player 10 Mobile the rx4540 doubles as a PMP (portable media player) for watching encoded videos and listening to MP3 songs on-the-go. We found the music playback satisfactory in quality though the built-in loudspeakers were a tad too soft at times.
