ThinkFree for iPod
today announced the initial beta release of ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition, a unique program that allows anyone with an iPod (or compatible MP3 device) to create, edit and transport full-blown PowerPoint presentations. ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition comes with over 130 PowerPoint compatible drawings and AutoShapes, 17 animation effects and 40 transitions. In addition to the standard .ppt file format, it can save documents as HTML, the World Wide Web standard format, as PDF file or as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphix) format. ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition is currently in beta and it will ship into retail in August at a retail price of $40.
iPod -> PDA

Somewhat OT: First off, I'm a huge fan of the iPod and of the Newton (though I no longer own either device). I would love to see the iPod become the next Newton, though I realize the chances of Apple developing a full-blown PDA are slim (Jobs has repeatedly expressed his opposition to the idea). But, with the help of 3rd party developers, the iPod has shown it's capable of becoming such a device. Hopefully the popularity of said 3rd party software is strong enough to convince Steve that a Neo Newt has potential/viability in the marketplace. THAT would make me a happy Mac user.
My hat is off to the companies with enough vision to make the iPod more than "just" an MP3 player.
