Wireless Pointers

I sometimes use my smartphone as "pointer" to move slides. I use the Connect Mobile app. on my Samsung Galaxy > log-in as Presenter in the same meeting room. Then I can walk around moving slides from my smartphone. Quite expensive if you don't have a smartphone, but if you have a one - it's free. It works - and you will be able to move slides from anywhere in the auditorium.

This is a problem for me, as well. One workaround is to use an Air Mouse (by Gyration) that lets you click the right/left arrows to change slides. It's impractical to teach a guest presenter to do this comfortably, but just a bit annoying for a regular presenter. You'd think there would be a programmable pointer, but I haven't seen one. This one looks promising, and one reviewer said it worked with Flash presentations. http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Tripp-Lite-Keyspan-Wireless-Presentation-Remote-Pro-w-Laser-Mouse-Audio/1257537.aspx

I'll try to buy one and psot here when I've done testing with Adobe Connect, but it usually takes a few weeks to get things in my organization.
