I imagine it's traveling presenters, mostly, for that projector. Mine was worth thousands when we got it (also from Boeing; they were liquidating) but is massive. Today's technology could fit in this one's lenscap. But I still haul it around, because I need to project stuff.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are people really doing presentations on iPods? Or is it just a transport medium?

Hm. I dunno. For videos, for sure it's possible.
I mean, I use my projector as our regular tv, and I've got an hdmi cable dangling off it that I plug my phone into periodically.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This makes me picture people doing iPod presentations by listening to their iPods while dancing behind a scrim, to replicate those old iPod ads....
Now I want to invent various interpretive dances that relate to specific business strategies, but I suppose I should do some work instead.

Ah, videos. I hadn't thought of that. It could be nice and creepy for Skype and Facetime.

Unrelatedly, who is the primary market for iPod projectors? Woot has that on sale for $199 right now, but it used to be $499. I don't get that..
Plus, if it's small enough, I could use it for presentations while traveling.

The question I asked above stands, then--are people saving or transporting presentations on an iPod? What's the format? Videos I get, but is there a slideshow equivalent?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
When I was doing classroom support, the usual thing was to save ppt or keynote slides as images and flip through them as an image slideshow. Now that there's an iOS version of Keynote and Google Docs presentations, people may be using those more.
