Coming soon: Presentations for Google Apps

Yesterday Google announced that they've acquired Tonic Systems in order to fold their presentation making, showing, and conversion programs into the Google Apps team of products. Unfortunately I had not played with Tonic's solutions prior to this announcement, and now their website is essentially reduced to a Google acquisition FAQ. So, I'll just have to wait patiently until this summer (the expected "due date") to start becoming familiar with this new option. All I've been able to determine at this point is that Tonic's software was all JAVA-based, and that the presentation element of Google Apps will continue the trend they've started with Docs and Spreadsheets by allowing for shared editing and extensive collaboration.
