Several new mobile phones are coming with TV out as an option. While people use this feature to show off their photo albums and video clips, it can also be used in corporate environments to exhibit power point presentations etc., But unfortunately not every projector can accept a composite video signal - most can only take a VGA signal as input.

TV to PC converter

A simple solution to overcome this problem is to use a Composite to VGA converter. There are many such boxes available in the market. To use these, just connect the provided TV out cable to the converter and the other end (VGA cable) to the projector. You can use Quick Office to show the presentations. Since the output is normal VGA, the same technique can be used to connect to a PC monitor also. The only thing you have to watch out for is the output resolution of these devices, as you cannot set that from your mobile phone.

Amazon has several such converters.

You should be able to use any mobile phone with TV out in this manner.
