I'm quickly finding that the Achilles heel of lecturing with an iPad 1 is whether you can get what is on the iOS screen to the projector. I'm not afraid of a jailbreak solution (DisplayOut) but I doubt many Universities (or Lecturers) would feel comfortable using (or supporting) clandestine solutions. However, it seems the iPad 2 has solved this allowing everything on the iPad screen to be mirrored to the VGA or HDMI adapters. Does this seem like a justifiable reason to ask for a newer iPad?
I've already highlighted some apps and their various degrees of VGA out support for ppt. Here are some others.
VGA out Successes:
QuickOffice plays videos and presents ppt
Keynote presents
GoodReader presents (scrolling) ppts and videos, web browsing
2Screens presents ppts, video, web browsing, art (whiteboard)
Photo app presents slideshows
BestAds app shows videos
YouTube app shows videos
Please submit others and I'll add them to the list.
