How to Put PowerPoints Into Your iTouch
PowerPoint is a presentation software program made by Microsoft. It is possible to put a PowerPoint presentation into your iPod Touch and present directly from the mobile device. Various commercial programs and apps are available to do this. One common method is to convert your presentation to a video in the MPEG-4 format, and then sync the video file from your computer to your iTouch with iTunes. It is possible to play a video as a presentation on your iTouch.

Tips & Warnings
The iPod Touch supports MPEG-4 video in .mp4, .m4v and .mov formats, so choose one of these as your output video format.
Use the pause button to control the timing of your presentation.
A video presentation is not a slide show. You can only play and pause to control the timing. You do not have the same flexibility as you would have with individual slides.
