I've only used my iPod to listen to music and books. When the advertisement says to leave your laptop at home, is that literal? How do you make a presentation? Look at it on the tiny iPod screen? Sorry for the naiveté.

I notice vendor has responded with a comment to both of the other posts. I would think anyone seriously interested in this software would visit the vendor site and review the specs more carefully. The brief descriptions on VT rarely tell the whole picture. The visit to the site was worth my time and I'm considering purchase. Those who think they can easily run a Keynote or PowerPoint presentation on their iPod Photo should give it a try. I've tried both. And they're miserable. The vendor may have something here. (no I'm not his mother-in-law) ;)
OK, I figured it out.
If, like me, you are clueless ... You need an AV cable. My local CompUSA did not have one, but it was about $20 from the Apple store. It gets plugged into the earphone jack on one end and the Red-Yellow-White input jacks on the back of a TV.
It took me a while to figure out how to get the presentation on my iPod. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but it wouldn't import into iPhoto. No problem, you can designate any folder and then it synchs with the next iPod synch cycle.
There are some limitations, of course. You can't edit the slides on your iPod, and you won't be able to run any kind of animation or hyperlinks. But the convenience of not having to lug a laptop around is very compelling.
Worth the price! Now that I see the possibilities of viewing photos on a TV screen, it's obvious that I could do that without this software. But my time is valuable, too.
