Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
As Google continues to deny that it is building a stable of online Microsoft Office competitors, the rhetoric continues to sound increasingly hollow with the launch of an online tool obviously designed to steal some of the wind from Microsoft's Powerpoint sails.
Called Google Presentations, the new addition to
the Google Docs family has been released and, at this stage, it is very
much a simple version of PowerPoint although it does not have
import-export compatibility.
However, like the other members of the stable, Writely and Spreadsheet,
Google Presentations is easy to use to build basic documents and it has
it all over Microsoft's desktop product for collaborative efforts.
Once again like its stable mates, performance is comparable to its
desktop equivalent but the functionality still falls quite a way short
of the full-blown PowerPoint product. Then again, unless you're a power
user, how much functionality do need? Perhaps children doing school
projects may be able to provide the answer.
Google Presentations beta is available to anyone with a Google Docs account.
