I am a national presenter and use air server to show my ipad on the big screen for demonstrating apps. Is there any reason why I would want appleTV instead? I often present in hotels with not-so-great internet connections….therefore I have always used a dongle to avoid that issue. What do you think is my best option???
Hmm…I often use the Reflector program–works on Windows and Mac, inexpensive–to reflect my iPad. This allows me to walk around the room with iPad in-hand while all audio/video from iPad is shared via computer+digital projector.
“The trick to presenting from an iPad wirelessly is to throw an Apple AirPort Express and Apple TV into the mix, which gives you a private wireless network to work within. In my experience, one can never rely solely on a venue’s public Wi-Fi.”

When using an Apple TV with an iPad, mirroring the screen will not fill up the projected image, it will show up as a smaller square in the middle. For this person, I'd keep on using the AirServer app on his/her laptop. If the wireless is flakey, set up the laptop to share it's wireless, so then it's the hot spot. I would also keep a VGA dongle for the iPad handy just in case.
