Default Link Windows Mobile display to Plasma TV

I trying to find a way to directly display my Personal Navigation Device (PND) running on Windows Mobile on to a LCD or Plasma screen. It's for product demos at roadshows.

Anyone done this?

If your device is a Dell Axim X50v/X51v (unlikely, since they're not dedicated PNDs), then it supports VGA-out out of the box, so you can use an appropriate cable and connect your device to a display.

If it's another device with a CompactFlash slot, then you may want to give one of these a go.

Alternatively, if your device has Bluetooth, the iGo Pitch Duo is another option.

option D: its sort of the same as the dell one, but my ppc can add an expansion pack which has vga out and also usb input for a mouse / keyboard. it also supports many usb items like thumb drives. it costs $20-30 on ebay. its for the toshiba E750. at the time it was the lowest prices solution for vga out. paid $180 for the e750 and $30 for expansion pack.

Is this the only Bluetooth option out there? I have been looking for something like this for a long time, but the price......

I am on the road a ton and would love to not have to carry my laptop with me to do powerpoint. Yes - I know I could just bring a thumb drive with my powerpoint and plug in to whatever computer they have available for my presentation. However, more often than not, when I go someplace to do a presentation, they never have the right equipment.

If I could travel with my Cingular 8125 with the powerpoint on it and this item (or something similar, but cheaper) than I am really packing light.
