I have successfully used PDF Reader Pro with the VGA cable. It isn't a PPT program but you can save PPT to PDF and then show them that way.

I think you are using the term "mirroring" wrong. There is "output" which is for single apps and "mirroring" which means that you can see exactly what's happening in the iPad.
True mirroring I got from the iPad 1 by jail breaking it and installing "display out" from Cydia (with the VGA cable). just $3 and it mirrors the entirety of the iPad. Very good for presenting PDFs as all PowerPoint apps suck on the iPad, or you have to convert each and very single graph to an image >_>... And yeah, yiu can watch ANY video that plays and play angry birdsvon the big screen =P
But I really doubt that the iPad 2 has true mirroring as apple wants to enforce DRM or whatever it's called for movies.
