You will need a dock connector/ TV out cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/ ht1454). In iOS 4, you have direct support of PDFs, i.e. you can copy PDFs directly to your iPod. Before that, you needed a separate app to view PDFs. As for PDF features, you'll be somewhat limited as to what the viewers support. For instance, movies within PDFs won't work. Also, I don't think there is a way to use clickers to control the iPod/ iPad. Matthias On Jul 19, 2010, at 1:51 PM, Thomas A.
