Can anyone guess the date this will debut as a labs beta

imagine creating a powerpoint online and serving it online or offline

This ironically, would be the the logical extension of Google AJAXing
Microsoft Office

new tagline...
The AjAX-ification of MS office :LOL

One guess: if spreadsheet today, a powerpoint alike feature by 1/1/2007?

And then we still need Google Access – a simple API-pluggable database backend for any website (with easy widgets for Google Page Creator and Blogger). Hmm, what else?

Google Draw aka Google Paint aka Google Photo
Google WYSIWYG aka Google Pagefront
Google @bank (looks cooler than e-bank)
Google Tax (no, they don't pay your taxes, but it helps to save hundreds of dollars each year)

> Google WYSIWYG aka Google Pagefront

Isn't that called Google Pages?

That sucks. No online JS adding for example. I want an AJAX based Macrom... ehhh Adobe Dreamweaver!

Yeah I'm looking forward to Google Access. Would they base it one MySql? It should still have a frontend like php-mysql (or whatever it's called).

Do you think they acutally have some of these products in the making?

They sure have their own interface (DBMS) for the databases. Only because everything is clustered.

>That sucks. No online JS adding for example. I want an AJAX based Macrom... ehhh Adobe Dreamweaver!

Yes, you're right, but anyway it's your Google Pagefront. :p

All other products are also not as reach featured as most of the fat client applications we know. I'm sure in far future that will be different. We're know a the very beginning of the Web 2.0 universum. So just have a little patience...
