Google Apps one of the chief competitors to the Microsoft Office Suite has finally come up with a presentations app that allows to create simple presentations. Right now the Presentations feature from Google does not stack up that well against Powerpoint.

You can import Powerpoint files into the Slideshow and edit them as you like. But the real problem is that you can’t save files as a powerpoint presentation or a open office presentation. Presentations from Google stores the stuff as a HTML with Javascript, CSS etc. embedded right into it. The only advantage that Presently has right now is its amazing collaboration features. Other features include presence of over 15 Stylish themes to choose from and a embedded gtalk so that you can collaborate easily.

Zoho the Online Office System has developed an offline version of Zoho Writer that allows you to read your stored documents while you are offline. Right Now it is only read only which means you will not be able to edit the videos while you are offline.

Zoho’s decision to go offline would mean a lot more people finally moving onto web office. Because reading and editing documents offline is the single best asset which Office Software on the desktop have. Also Interesting to note is that Zoho is gone online using google gears much before Google could use it for Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

Here is a small demo video of the capabilities of Zoho Writer Offline

What do you think about this feature of Zoho, will this feature give tough competition to the other services ?
