Jane's Pick of the Day: MightyMeeting

03 June 2010

MightyMeeting

The iPad hit the UK shops over the weekend so I bought mine on Sunday. I asked my Twitter followers for suggestions for apps to install and was off to a good start.

One of the apps I purchased was Keynote and I love the way presentation slides look on the iPad, so am going to be using this a lot with clients, but how to get all my existing PowerPoint presentations on to the iPad or access them in some way online, as embedded Flash-based Slideshare shows don't display?

I then discovered MightyMeeting. I can upload the presentations into MightyMeeting and then present them from the iPad app. Perfect! What is even better is that you can set up online meetings with others and present directly to them with chat functionality too.

(BTW MightyMeeting works just as well with the iPhone and iPod Touch.)

UPDATE: Saurav has mentioned the Slideshare mobile site (in the comments). This displays images rather than Flash - however, some of my slides don't display properly on it :(

Thanks Saurav - have updated the posting to include that. I was referring to embedded slideshows - but nevertheless it is important to mention the Slideshare app.

Hi Jane,

Haven't used Keynote on my iPad yet but this might be useful in terms of compatibility with transitions etc.:

This is a neat app for using an iPhone or iPad as a remote controller for Windows/Mac systems. Install server software on remote system and the iPad app finds it (both have to be on same network for WIFI to work). Could use with laptop hooked up to large screen tv or projector.

CourseNotes for the iPad I have been on the look out for some more interesting iPad apps - here's one for students.
