Connect XOOM to projector

[doctagadget]

Hey guys I know that the ipad allows you to connect it to your projector to show PowerPoint slides. Does the xoom allow this?

It has full HDMI abilities so I don't see why not -

...and in case you didn't know we have an entire forum dedicated to the Xoom

Most projectors at schools and hospitals don't have an HDMI input. Just standard VGA. So I'm more so curious about a VGA output.

I've used it with hdmi connected to a dvi adapter for a presentation. VGA is analog so you need a converter box unfortunately, making most older projectors a no-go.

I've read that the hdmi out only works when connected through the docking station, but haven't tested it yet...can anyone confirm or dispute this review finding?

I have connected with HDMI from the Xoom to the TV without the docking station.

I've also come across other posts that reported success as well. Must have been a bad/early review or some HW/SW bugs in an early release. Key is the right cable, a HDMI Type A male to HDMI type D (Micro). Ordered mine from Monoprice.com, less than $7.50 for a 15' cable.

Got mine from Radio Shack and is an HTC cable.

I'd like this feature too, but first we need an app that can render Powerpoint documents accurately.
