Where is the AIR-based PowerPoint Killer?

Someone. ANYONE. Please!? It would seem that AIR would provide an excellent basis to plug a serious gap in the Adobe product line—the presentation app. But where is it?

I see the Swift3D folks made one for Microsoft's Silverfish or WTF. Whatever they're calling it, the app sure looks a lot like Adobe Bridge.

Ironically, it doesn't allow for 3d. Simple 3d would be great—even if it were single-fixed-camera 3d. It'd beat out Keynote and PowerPoint, and better yet, the presentation format (swf) would be the delivery format. Adobe for the win!

Thanks. Here’s hoping they can pull it off. Well.

Slide Rocket is really cool … but native desktop presentation tools have an edge …. better integration with the desktop … for example .. a presentation app would invariably be required to launch files in their default applications … air cannot do this … well it kainda can using navigateToUrl but then you see the ugly Open/Save/Run dialog in windows as if you were in a browser.

stop me from talking to myself.
