SlideShark gives you the option to view your PowerPoint presentation (including all graphics and animations) in full screen or in a notes view where you can see the slide notes, a roll of upcoming slides and a window showing the slide playing through with all the animations (still controlled by clicks/taps), a bit like presenter view on PowerPoint. When you connect your iPad to a second monitor, the second monitor will only ever show the full screen presentation show, but you have the option on the iPad to have a mirror (full screen) or presenter view. You can't see the SlideShark menu on the second screen either, so you can move between different presentations really easily.

For me, it's a superb app and one of the main reasons for getting an iPad. It works really seamlessly, and you can use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote too, so you don't even need to hold the iPad.

This will work fine IF your HDTV has VGA input. If you have no other reason for a VGA adapter, you might want to get the Lightning Digital AV Adapter (part no. MD826ZM) instead, as it provides HDMI video instead of VGA—that is assuming that you want to connect to your TV over HDMI cable instead of VGA. But your HDTV might have both HDMI and VGA, in which case you can use either this adapter or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter (part no. MD826ZM).

You will get video but touching the smart board can't control the iPad as its only a video connection no data

No, you cannot. It only works for video output.

There is, however, an app called Air Display from Avatron Software that claims to be able to do exactly this, with no additional hardware necessary. Search the App Store for it.

Apple has stated that the 30-pin to Lightning adapter doesn't support video out, so that would imply that no, the 30-pin adapter and the 30-pin VGA would not work.
