Office apps showdown

Some are already calling it "the ultimate leave behind" , the next cab off the rank in the Flex powered world is Slide Rocket, which has been under the radar for quite a while.

SlideRocket is built using Flex and is a designed as a replacement for Power Point with the extra benefits of an always online solution (collaboration, easy archive etc). The user experience looks fantastic.

It puts itself in the same class as Buzzword, which is no easy achievement. Both of these apps will have offline versions when released which will utilise Adobe AIR.

Absolutely awesome guys. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Nice article on Wired goes into more detail and suggests Adobe may be soon entering the Microsoft vs Google space of office productivity apps themselves. Interesting times.
