Peek at (Probably) Google’s PowerPoint killer?

Until now, a slideshow is often sent as .pps format as email attachment and the recipient needs to have PowerPoint or at least PPT reader to view the slideshow. Some Gmail users have a new option in their in-box: PowerPoint files that are sent to them can now be viewed “as slide show.” When you click on this link, you’re given a full-window, Flash-based slide show of the file, with forward and back buttons at the top of the screen and a slide selector drop-down menu.

Right-clicking gives you options to play the slide show automatically, adjust the speed of the autoplay, and download the original file.

This is probably the presentation player that will be part of Google’s upcoming competitor to PowerPoint.
