Google to launch PowerPoint killer?

[anandk]

Google is working on a tool that will let you convert documents into a presentation much like Microsoft's PowerPoint does, according to the Google Operating System blog. The tool is dubbed "Presently," which is a play on the name of Google's Web-based word processor Writely, according to the blog posting.

A Google representative said: "We're continually exploring opportunities to expand our offerings but we have nothing to announce at this time."

Google has been releasing more and more productivity applications and other services as free, online versions, starting with Gmail. Last year Google merged its Documents and Spreadsheets products and the industry has been waiting for the next shoe to drop as Google expands its hosted services.

in a related news Google is said to be adding to its office suite.

Google may claim it's all about search, but the company is creeping ever closer to offering a full office suite. It's already released word processing and spreadsheet programs, and now it may be working on a Powerpoint competitor.http://news.com.com/2061-11199_3-615...?tag=cnetfd.mt
