As you already use Python and pygame, have you thought about integrating with http://impressive.sourceforge.net/ ? It's what I currently use to give PDF presentations that I create with LaTeX. It works really well. Right now, I use BlueMaemo on the N800 as a remote control. > To make it work, you create a .xpr file with the notes for the slides, > with the same name of the .pdf file, and run the xpressent server on > the laptop with the .xpr file as parameter.

I wonder if we could get the .xpr files written by LaTeX, or preprocessing the LaTeX beamer files? How do we download the entire source from https://devel.airadier.com/xpressent/browser/trunk/src in one go? Ah, I see we can download /trunk as a zip. On the front wiki page, you have a link to "subversion", but it's actually a link to the Trac source browser.
