CF Video Card

[mizzouman]

Does anyone here use a CF VGA video card on their Axim to project images/documents/presentations to a computer projector? If so, any recommendations?
Thanks!

I'd like to hear opinions from owners of CF video out cards, too. Altho I don't think I'll be buying one any time soon (expensive and hard to find in Toronto). My interest in all these PDA add-ons makes me wonder if I should've got a notebook PC instead. :lol: My very old and long departed HP Omnibook had built-in TV out (RCA jack). PCMCIA cards are cheaper than CF...

I'm only aware of three CF VGA out (presenter) cards. Anyone know of other products?

Pretec Compact Presenter (w/ IR remote control)

You can purchase it directly from Pretec for $129 USD:

Margi Presenter-to-Go ($199 USD MSRP, incl. s/w & IR remote control)

eCost.com sells the CF version ($165):

ProLink PK-203 (Pixelview Presentation Kit for PDA, PDA-PK203 -includes IR remote)
http://www.prolink-usa.com/english/product...t/pda-pk203.htm
driver & docs found here:
http://www.prolink.com.tw/english/download/pda.htm
But I suspect that this product has been discontinued because it's absent from their Taiwan HQ products list and the Buy it Online section in the USA division's web page links to newegg.com which doesn't carry it (and I can't find any other web store that sells it).

Lea ...thanks for the great information.
Another one is the FlyCam Presenter by LifeView

Usually I hear more about Margi Presenter - to - Go than any other products out there, but the FlyCam Presenter sure does give you more options.

Wow, the Flycam Presenter features/specs are pretty impressive, especially the multiple outputs. Neat...

Yes, I've read mention of the Margi video products in a few threads somewhere (I think I heard someone mention the Pretec CF card only once). I can't remember any details, only vaguely recall statements like "I own/use Margi Presenter-to-Go." I ought to search the forums here and elsewhere, but it'll have to wait till I have some more time.
