5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
As Google says: "We've already freed those of you working in teams from the burdens of version control and email attachment overload when going back and forth on word processing and spreadsheets. It just made sense to add presentations to the mix; after all, when you create slides, you're almost always going to share them. Now students, writers, teachers, organizers, and, well, just about everyone who uses a computer can look forward to having real-time, web-based collaboration across even more common business document formats." CEO Eric Schmidt keeps doing his bit to downplay the competitive aspect with Microsoft of having an online office suite. He makes no exception with its new presentation product as a competitor to PowerPoint. However, whatever Schmidt utters in this regard appears to be totally at odds with phrases like "it's a better fit to how people use the web" and the sentiments expressed in the Google blog.The new application has been closed for new beta testers and is expected to be available in the second half of 2007.{moscomment} |
