Can I use the iPad to present on an external display/projector?
Yes. Unlike the iPhone, which currently is limited to video-out from the iPod and YouTube apps, apps on the iPad can send video out via the same dock-connector-to-video adapters available for the iPhone. A good example of this is the Keynote app, which will let you present your slides on an external monitor if it’s hooked up. Your iPad then becomes a controller, so you can advance slides, jump around between slides, even hold your finger down and turn it into a faux laser pointer on the external screen. (Unfortunately, Keynote doesn’t currently support presenter notes, so you won’t see those.) Apps need to specifically support this feature, so we’ll have to see which iPad developers take up the challenge.
