Google has released a new application called Presentation in the Google Docs. Most of us expected this to arrived sometime as Google is gradually encroaching on the MS Office territory. Personally I think this is a great move by Google and we can all expect to see a lot more functionality of Presentation to come soon.

One of the best aspects of Presentation is the abielity to import Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, and the process is very smooth. I decided once the app came out to try importing one of my ppt files. It took just a minute, but the file imported with out any problem.

The collaboration capabilities makes Presentation extremely handy. Just the other day at work we had a company branding meeting wherein we had several MS PowerPoint files to review. The problem we had though was that four people were calling in from remote areas. The files were large so email was tedious so after a loss of 15 minutes or so of trying to get everyone the files via instant messaging or email we were able to begin the meeting. Now with Google Presentation this process will be so much easier.

Here’s a great video I found on the Official Google Blog site:

I look forward to more amazing products from Google. One app that I would really like to see from Google is a personal finance application.
