The first component of the
software is a lightweight Windows program. It uses
less than 300kb on your hard drive and does not require
any complex installation: just drop it anywhere on your
PC and launch it!
From this program, you select the type of connection
you have on your Palm (either Bluetooth or network). And
you choose the program(s) you want to control, among MS
PowerPoint®, Windows Media Player® &
iTunes®. |
|
|
When you want to control a
PowerPoint® slideshow, just go to the
corresponding tab and open your PPT document (after
"connecting" the PC).
That's all you need to start navigating the slideshow
from your Palm! You have commands to go the next,
previous, first and last side, to pause the show (turning
the screen black) and ending it altogether.
If needed, you also have an option to configure the
hardware keys for easy navigation from your
Palm.
Of course, the Windows program conveniently "disappears"
from the screen as soon as your Palm is connected and
ready to take control.
|
Controling Windows Media
Player® or iTunes® is just as easy:
just go to the corresponding tab and a similar interface
is present.
Instead of selecting a file to open, just select a
"Playlist" (this may be an actual playlist you have
created or a CD or DVD you have inserted in the drive).
Then you're ready to take control from your Palm.
The controls (availaibility depending on the
player and the media) include: previous & next track,
fast forward & rewind, pause/restart & stop and sound
volume (+/-).
As for the PowerPoint control, you have the option
to configure the hardware keys for your Palm.
You may have your media player display its window,
optionnally on full screen (useful for a movie, for
example).

The second component of
PCPilot  is the Palm
program. Just as light as its Windows counterpart
(at about 16kb), it is also as simple to use.
Configuration involves only the selection of the
type of connection you want to use to your PC.
And as soon as you connect to the Windows program,
the Palm takes complete control.
|
Use the on-screen buttons
(contextually activated) or the hardware keys you have
configured on the Windows program to navigate
your slideshow.
The palm displays the current
slide title (adjusting for longer texts if
required) and with a press of a key you may even switch
to the speaker notes display.
|
|
|
And of course, controlling
Windows Media Player® or iTunes®
is exactly the same, with their specific context-sensitive
command buttons.
