Keynote for iPad Adds iDisk Support, PowerPoint (.PPT) Export

Keynote for the iPad has been updated with MobileMe iDisk support, the ability to export to PowerPoint (.PPT) format, and more.

Keynote, the powerful presentation application for Mac, has been completely redesigned for iPad. It makes creating a world-class presentation, complete with animated charts and transitions, as simple as touching and tapping.

Using Keynote, you can:
- View and edit Keynote ’09 or Microsoft PowerPoint presentations from Mail, the web, your MobileMe iDisk, a WebDAV service, or your Mac or PC using iTunes File Sharing.
- Share your work by exporting it to Keynote ’09, Microsoft PowerPoint, or PDF format and send it via Mail. Or, publish to iWork.com public beta.
- Choose from 12 Apple-designed themes including Gradient, Showroom, and Portfolio.
- Arrange the objects on your slides by simply dragging them on the slide canvas.
- Create sophisticated animations by using Magic Move, which automatically animates objects across consecutive slides.
- Animate objects on slide with over 20 builds.
- Choose from over 20 professional-quality slide transitions including Anagram, Page Flip, Mosaic, and Twist.
- Quickly add your photos and videos from the Photos app with the Media Browser.
- Organize your data with beautiful charts and tables.
- Skim through your presentation, add new slides, and reorder slides with the slide navigator.
- Work without worry as presentations are automatically saved whenever you make a change.
- Use the Undo button to go back through your previous changes — even the next time you open your document.
- Show your slides on a large screen by attaching your iPad to an external display or projector with the optional iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter.
- Copy presentations from your iPad to your MobileMe iDisk, a WebDAV service or directly to your Mac or PC using iTunes File Sharing.
