Google Docs to support Powerpoint

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-executive-time-wasters dept.

KindredHyperion writes "Garett Rogers at ZDNet has an article on the prospect of a Powerpoint-esque addition to Google Docs and Spreadsheets. From the article: "If you dig around the language files in Google Docs, you will find what appears to be traces of a new service preparing for launch soon. Meet Google Presently — an online presentation creator that will likely read and write the most common formats like Microsoft PowerPoint and Open Office Impress.""

    I am having quite a bit of trouble grasping what you are trying to say.
    How about a putting together a little presentation for the rest of us, which shouldn't take up too much of your weekend time, say for Monday morning, 9AM?
