Where is power point now?

Maybe it's just me or I missed it but, when I checked out the new docs to go on 2.0 I only saw Word and Excell. So where is Power Point now?

When you start docs to go, the two icons at the bottom are to create a word doc or excel spreadsheet. Maybe you can't create a powerpoint presentations but can still view one. Have you tried opening one when you click browse?

No, I don't have any on the PB to try. I just know before I had an icon for all 3 and could open and use all and now I just have the docs to go icon only and see no sign of PP at all so just wondering if it was no longer included or if mine had a problem or what.

You can still open PowerPoints on the PlayBook. Put one on your PB and try it for yourself. It will open. Apparently, you just can't create one on the PB

Hi there, I noticed the same and checked it with an ppt file. Pp opend and I was able to view the presentation. I was not able to edit it. Apparantly you may only view after the update.

I was wondering the same thing and hope they fix it. In OS 1, we were able to create new pot, now you can only view. Not right, since all my presentations are on ppt and I need to be able to create or edit on the spot.

Just when you thought Research In Motion had finally learned their lesson... Considering the tablet is the perfect vehicle for presentations it is very dumb not to allow creation and editing of new presentations within Docs-2-Go. Maybe Research In Motion needs to expand their software development team by a factor of 500%, that would bring the development team up to 5 staff, as a starting point.
