Any guesses on when/if the google presentation project will begin?
Features I'd like to see:
   – Collaboration (as in docs & spreadsheets)
   – Present it with voice (& video?)
   – Embed videos & google spreadsheets in the presentation
   – Export it as a pdf / odp / ppt format.

Just to confirm, do you mean something like PowerPoint and / or Webex but from Google?

It would be nice: Google Docs, Spreadsheets & Presentations.

Yeah exactly. Webex is more what I had in mind. I know it's nothing novel, but I think it'd make a nice suite with docs & spreadsheets.

Presentation = a kind of PowerPoint + Google Videos?

Why not add video conf & remote presentation too it, immediately.
That would make the integration with Gchat complete...

Nice idea would like 2 see it

Will there be a Google style powerpoint application? And when do you think It will be out?

Tony, are there and internal project names which you think point towards a google powerpoint application?

Surely they must be working one one. How could an office suit be complete without one.

And why you might think they are working on an office suite? :-)

What makes PowerPoint slides different to pages in Word? Not much. Maybe just page size (since slides don't scroll). And a few useless transitions or animations, I guess. So I'm sure the developers at Google could knock something up in a few days using technology from Google Page Creator (and possibly Google Docs).

Whether they want to is another question. Personally, I think they might make it a "type" of document rather than creating a whole new application/service for it.

It should then be fairly straighforward to improve their document collaboration features so that a "host" user can move between slides (or pages) whilst other users are viewing the document. Integrate that with Google Talk and you've got a neat presentation application like WebEx...

My thoughts are along the same lines of Tony... a Powerpoint presentation webified isn't that different from plain page concept/ HTML. Indeed, in my old companies I used to create presentations in HTML in the beginning, just 'cause I despise PowerPoint I guess! But then I realized that it's much harder for some people to grasp the concept of a presentation not being a PPT file attached to an email, so maybe if Google wants to have a presentation format and they want to reach this target group – a very important one! – then they must probably make it very PowerPoint like, and call it "Google Presentations" or something... and allow PPT export :)
