Summary

Slide Show Commander allows the PDA user to control a PowerPoint presentation. It also allows other attendees who using PebblesPC to annotate on the current slide.

There are four panels for Slide Show Commander for Palm:

• Scribble Panel: When a presentation is playing (when the "Slide Show" is being viewed), then this shows a thumbnail of the current slide and allows all Pebbles users to annotate the slide. There is only one cursor, so users must take turns, but Pebbles automatically changes the color so each user has a different color by default. As long as users take turns nicely, their annotations will be in different colors.
• Notes Panel: Displays the notes associated with the current slide.
• Titles Panel: Displays the list of slide titles, so the presenter can easily switch to a different slide.
• Timer Panel: Displays a full-featured timer for use in timing a presentation.

Here are some screenshots that show examples of these:
