Prezenter PSR Two-Touchscreen Laptop: Travelling Sales Pitches Go High-Tech

I've never encountered a traveling salesperson, so I've not had someone trying to push a "revolutionary" product on me from the comfort of my home. But if the Prezenter PSR is anything to go by, traveling sales is about to get high-tech. It's a custom notebook PC, designed to fold so that a 14-inch screen faces the victims audience, while a 7-inch touchscreen faces the seller. The small screen controls the presentation, and the audience can draw stuff on their screen. Apart from that it's a standard laptop, with 3.5 hours of battery if you're using Wi-Fi, and it's on trial in the US market. When it's for sale, it'll cost you $1,800: presumably you won't have to watch a two-hour sales pitch to buy one. [Cnet]

BluePointer Bluetooth Headset-Laser Pointer Mashup Won't Make You a Borg

I mean "Locutus of Borg" rather than the "Bjorn" variety of course... but admittedly, having a Bluetooth headset that you can whip off and use to fire red laser beams around is pretty sci-fi. It's the BluePointer from Brando, and I suppose it's a multipurpose gadget for professionals with little room in their briefcases: it's also got an ultra-bright LED torch and it can be used to flick through the slides in your presentations. You simply pair it with a notebook supporting HID profile and away you go. It's got a talk time of six hours, standby of 120, and does Bluetooth v2.0+EDR class 2. Available now for $90, assimilation into the collective not included. [Brando]

Steve Ballmer's Presentation Laptop is a Strange Choice

"You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts."

Editor's note: nothing to be surprised about here. Even if he was using a MacBook for his presentation, who cares? Macs run Windows just like any other PC laptop, and also PowerPoint for Mac OS X. Probably Ballmer doesn't give a damn about what computer is running his presentation, as long as it runs Microsoft's software. —JD

Google adds a PowerPoint clone called Presentation to its stable of online Word and Excel clones. Whether an online-only, browser-based presentation suite will be nearly as powerful as a native application is yet to be seen, but our guess is no. [Google]

Kensington Wireless Presentation Remote has Range, Not Much Else

Kensington has released the Wireless Presentation Remote. It is really an average USB wireless remote that can click through your slides about TPS reports with ease. It does have one thing going for it—range. The remote will work up to 65 feet away, which could be really useful in the awkwardly laid out auditoriums. It is available for $45 or so. – Travis Hudson More »

Sony VPL-EX3 Projector

Here's Sony's latest entry-level projector, the VPL-EX3, a 1024x768 unit which the company says can brighten your day with 2000 ANSI lumens of shiny goodness. There's a couple of D-sub inputs in the back, along with composite and S-Video, but too bad there are no DVI inputs. Probably the best thing about this unit is its price—retailing at $1,220, it'll probably be a lot lower than that on the street soon after it's available later this month. More »
