I often hear people asking about ways to project the screen of a mobile phone to a PC during presentations, so I decided to compile a short list of mobile phone to PC projector options. If you have any experience with mobile to PC projectors, please post a short comment.
The four discussed here are:

| Mobilola | Remote S60 | Screenshot | Project-a-Phone |
I personally use Mobilola Remote Control by Warelex ($35 USD). It’s a C++ app that works with Symbian S60v2 and S60v3 phones. I have been using it through an emulated WinXP (via Parallels on my Mac laptop) and it’s still really snappy. It also was extremely easy to set up. A few of the Mobilola Remote Control features are:
- Shows your phone screen on your PC
- Option to fully control your phone via PC
- Zoom in/out
- Full screen presentation option
- Snapshot
- Video recording
- Works over Bluetooth or USB
- Demo your phone through Skype Video and record YouTube video presentations directly to YouTube with webcam driver functionality
Remote S60 Professional ($30 USD) by MobileWays is a similar tool. I have not personally used this tool, but I hear that it works very well.
If all you need is a single frame capture solution, then you should give Screenshot a try (if the link fails, then refresh your browser—I have noticed a problem with their servers). Screenshot for Symbian OS is a FREE program to take screenshot on your Symbian OS mobile phones (UIQ or S60). You can capture screenshot and save it to a file in JPEG, PNG, BMP or MBM format. The screenshot can be sent directly to a PC via Bluetooth or infrared and another mobile phone. It also supports continuous mode that allows you to capture screenshot every a few seconds.
If your looking for a hardware option, I have heard great things about Project-a-Phone ($295 USD).
Hello.
I’m looking just this kind of software, but I need it for S40. You know about any out there for S40?
Thanks.
For Symbian, SysOpen Digia sells a really slick application. There are two parts, one for your phone and one for your PC that let you display your phone screen on your PC in realtime via bluetooth. It is called ImageExpo.
You should check out Psiloc Wireless Presenter:

It connects to your PC via bluetooth and allows you to control Powerpoint with your phone so that the slides display to your audience and the notes display on your mobile screen.
It can then seamlessly flip over and display the mobile phone screen within Powerpoint so that you can demo a mobile app or site to the audience without breaking stride.
It’s a great tool and well worth a look.
