Pocket SlideShow from CnetX is one of several Powerpoint viewer contenders on the Pocket PC platform; now, the company is first to launch a solution for Smartphone 2002 devices.
While solutions for showing Powerpoint presentations are abundant on the Pocket PC platform - there are even a few hardware solutions for connecting to VGA projectors and alike to make presentations straight from devices - the Smartphone 2002 platform is brand new and doesn't yet have the same number of applications to choose from. Italy-based CnetX Software is one of the first software houses to have an application available for the platform, and if you hadn't guessed yet, it's Pocket SlideShow.
Pocket SlideShow is a PowerPoint presentation viewer for handheld devices, now available in both Pocket PC and Smartphone versions to allow users to view presentations on their device and play back full-screen slide shows. According to CnetX, the Smartphone edition has been specifically tailored to take advantage of the capabilities the platform offers, such as single-handed user interface which will let users browse presentations with just one hand.

Four different views are available, including slide preview (with zoom control and slide scrolling), presentation notes, slide thumbnails and full screen mode with landscape orientation and animation support. View switching is achieved by pressing a single key, while the cursor keys are always available to move forward and backward in the presentation.
Automatic multilanguage support is also included, so that menus and screens automatically adapt to the language selected by users on the phone. The current release of the Windows Powered Smartphone supports English, German, French and Italian, with Spanish to be added soon.
Orange has selected Pocket SlideShow as one of the software application to be bundled with its new Orange SPV device, which will be distributed in the U.K., France and other European countries.
