Keynote Remote

Posted by macforbusiness on Jun 17, 2011 in Hints & Tips, iPad | 0 comments

When giving a presentation the last thing you want is to be stuck behind your laptop, you want the freedom of movement – to walk, gesture, and provide body language to your audience. But what if you don’t want the added financial burden of having a presentation remote, or what if you forget the remote or want to give a presentation “on the fly”? Surely it would be so much easier to have a cost effective solution which you will always have with you.

This is where the Keynote Remote App comes in! This very cheap (59p) app allows you to connect your iPhone to your Mac, Macbook or iPad over a WiFi/Bluetooth connection and manage your Keynote presentation remotely. With this you can view presenter notes, go forward, back, start or end the presentation, preview the next slide or restart from the first slide all using your iPhone (or iPod touch) – which you will always have with you so you won’t forget or be caught out.

Plus also, if you ever do forget your presentation remote the Keynote Remote app takes less than a minute to set up so you can easily do your important presentations and avert business disaster.
