Is it possible with this piece of kit to plug your ipaq straight into the TV?

The reason i personally would want to do this is to play yahoo pool, ive got no pc, i have to use my dad to link it up,ive tried to play it on my ipaq, but the minimum resoultion is 640x480, and the pool cue is HUGE..
So has anybody tried or possibly any other options or any ideas on this?

Nope :
Crabat allows users to transfer pictures and MP3 sound files from a mobile phone without using cables and additional hardware or software. This means anyone can transfer their pictures to any TV, as long as the device you're transferring from has Bluetooth, and the TV has got a SCART or phone input.
You don't need to know anything. All you have to do is put the Crabat onto the SCART on the back of your TV and select send via Bluetooth in the mobile phone's menu
It is a little adapter with memory and a small os on it, and you can send your pictures to the adapter, and it will show them on tv.
If you just wanna play yahoo pool, for about the same $80 that this thing cost, you can get a used PC.
Basicaly even a Windows 95 machine (Pentium 100 and up) will be sufficient.
Make sure you got at least like 32 mb on the machine though.
Another option is get a Sega DreamCast from a pondshop. They run around $30, get the webbrowser for it, and off you go.
it has a dialup modem build in, there is also a network adapter for dsl for it, seperate, and you can even get a keyboard and mouse for it as well.
And it hooks up directly to the tv.

I just won the Prolink PK203 Presentation System (http://www.convergentech.com/detail.aspx?ID=10). It's a Compact Flash card and adapter cable that allows you to plug a Pocket PC into a VGA monitor (or projector), S-Video or Composite TV jack. I tested it on my 32" Sony Wega XBR yesterday and it worked great.
