So what's involved?
It's pretty simple to do.

First you need a TV that will accept HDMI plug.
You need an apple device eg Ipad, Iphone etc.

Go out and buy an Apple Tv at around $115 (Its a box not a TV!, stupid confusing name)
Link here to find what it can do without the additional app.
http://www.apple.com/au/appletv/
Hook up the box to your TV.

Then download this $2 or $3 app called Air Video and install on your device. You will also need to install server software to you main PC and leave it running in system tray. You also will setup your folders that you want to be seen by the app on your device.
More on the app http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index....1CC4285589


Once thats done its just a matter of opening the app in your device, choosing one of your movies from the folders, playing it on your device or choosing to play it on your TV (with the Apple TV box on it)


Verdict:
Excellent. Very good video quality and no delay or choppiness.
If your video is the wrong format the app with convert it on the fly, amazing.
No more moving hard drives around or inserting USB sticks to back of TV, now all your videos are easy to play and always up to date.

And you can also watch YouTube, Vimimestraight on your TV too as well as hire latest movies from Apple if you want.

It will also share and play your songs from Itunes on your computer too using Home Share.

Oh but wait there's more!
It does not use any data if your are using it at home through your wifi!
AND you can set it up so you can steam all your movies from your computer to your device anywhere in the world for eg when travelling. (It does use data this way of course)
It also does podcasts and has a large range of free channels such as ABCTV.]]> And it will only cost you around $120 all up. (As of date of this thread of course)

After trying many apps, all too complicated with too many features such as swipe etc that I just don't need, I finally found this beauty.
BB keyboard.

Big Buttons Keyboard Standard is free and is just great to use. A paid version is also available with more features but the free version may be all you need.
One of the best apps I have added, I can't live without this one.

I have been using this app on my Android phone for over 6 months now and it is fantastic, so much so that I now use it exclusively instead of my Tom Tom.

Why do I prefer it?
I don't have to connect any wires (my Tom Tom would have to be connected to cig lighter or it would run out of power), I have a little bit of velcro on my phone and just stick the phone to the dash of the car. That's it, the battery on the phone hasn't run out yet on any trip using the nav app. And if I do need to charge then I have a cigarette lighter charger just in case. And because it's now on my phone I can use it in walk mode wherever I like.

Sygic has too many features to list here and a beautiful easy to read interface. It is regularly updated too!
Do yourself a favour and grab this Sat Nav whilst it is so cheap.

If you need a flash like slideshow without the disadvantages of a flash show then this tool is for you.

The advantages of this tool over a flash slideshow maker is that the show will be seen on all browsers and also on Apple products, iphone, ipad etc.
This is a big bonus.

Usage:
The easy to understand interface has 5 pre made templates.
Choose a template and then you can dig deeper into the settings and customise everything from slide size and thumbnail size to transition effects, captions, navigation arrows and much much more.
The amount of customisation is really incredible and very extensive.

What I really like is that you can disable the thumbnail images altogether and use the show as a website header which is very popular today on many websites.
There is also an option for the viewer to choose to see the slideshow if full screen mode too. Great.

Another thing that impressed me is that any changes you make are done in real time on the fly so there is no need for constant saving and previewing. Very clever and a time saving feature.

Once you have added your images the application will process and resize the image files automatically according to the size of the slide show and the show is then made. Its then just a case of adding some folders and files to the root directory of your website and adding a little code to the header and in the body where you want your show to appear on your webpage.

The result is a very clean unobtrusive show with easy to use navigation via arrows on the image itself and/or by clicking the thumbnails if you have thumbnails shown.

I have tried many of these over the years but this one stands out for it's simplicity in layout and usage. The show will really fit into almost any website design, style or color scheme.

And of course it is not using flash so you know it will be visible everywhere.

You can also add hyper-link to each image and add multiple slideshows on one web page.

I recommend giving this one a go.
The free version had a link to the creators website.
A paid version is also available for a small fee and well worth it.
Visit their website here to download the product,get more information and see some show examples.
