The First PowerPoint Phone: PowerPoint to Samsung Galaxy Beam

Samsung announced its first phone of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Beam, a unique Smartphone that distinguishes from all others, with a built-in projector. For a long time, people are discussing on the application of Smartphones or tablets in work place, not until Samsung Galaxy Beam came out.

The Galaxy Beam can project video, images or PowerPoint presentations up to 50-inches wide. The resolution of projected video is 640 x 360 pixels. The Galaxy Beam measures only 0.49 inches while packing in a 15 lumens projector. Most Pico projector accessories sold today are only 10 or 12 lumens bright. That’s why ever the image clarity was impressive: colors looked vivid and the picture looked sharp. So it is possible that you can bring your Samsung Galaxy Beam to show your PowerPoint presentations directly using the built-in projector.

How to present your PowerPoint with Samsung Galaxy Beam: The built-in projector makes it possible for you to show PowerPoint up to 50-inches wide directly. The problem is that Microsoft PowerPoint cannot run on Android Smartphones and the Android Office apps like Documents to Go, ThinkFree Office cannot preserve PowerPoint animations, transitions, etc. So you’d better convert PowerPoint to video for Samsung Galaxy Beam, if you want to present PowerPoint with all original PowerPoint effects, like animations, transitions, intervals, music and embedded video clips, etc.
