I received my Margi CF Presenter-to-Go Wednesday, May 21, 2003. The card is everything they promised. First, the installation is simple and straight forward. Once the software is installed and the CF card is properly inserted, the Axim immediately recognizes the card. Presenter-to-Go adds an item to your PowerPoint buttons. You simply click on it and whatever presentation is open will be converted and sent to your PDA.
The good thing is that you can save the presentation on an SD card - that's what I did. Since I didn't have an LCD projector, I hooked it up to a 17" monitor. It worked flawlessly. The remote worked from about 10 feet away, even when I did not appear to be pointing it directly to the IR port. You can use the remote to jump to specific slides. This thing beats a laptop hands down.
One more great feature is something called Margi Mirror. It allows you to project the PDA onto a screen regardless of what program you're using. It's perfect for teaching, because you can use the stylus to write. (O, you can also make live notes on your ppt presentation).
The only con to this card is that it would be nice if it could connect to a television (A/V). That would work when you want to do presentations for organizations that do not have an LCD. Other than this, I recommend this card fully.
