Brainshark touts PowerPoint-on-iPad success, but Microsoft circles the waters
In October 2011, Brainshark lunged at the chance to offer a better viewing experience for PowerPoint presentations on iOS devices, and this week the company is declaring its SlideShark app a success.
However, Microsoft is now swimming in this direction as well, so it remains to be seen whether the app will be able to co-exist with the great white shark from Redmond.
SlideShark is designed for people who want to use their iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to view and show PowerPoint presentations while maintaining the original formatting and rendering of advanced elements, like special fonts, graphics, animations and videos.
Brainshark said on Tuesday that about 5 million presentations with a total of about 150 million slides have been uploaded to SlideShark in the past two years in more than 150 countries, mostly by professionals in sales, marketing, education and other fields.
