I recently wrote about 280 Slides in a round up of resources focused on presentations. It’s a newer tool, having been around for just over one year, and it’s a great alternative to desktop presentation applications. There are other tools, such as Google Docs, that give you this functionality, but none that have the same flair as 280 Slides.

Actually, you’re hard pressed to find another web application of any type that offers the same polished experience.

After playing around for a few minutes, I thought what better way to review the application than with the app itself. So here it is: a review of 280 Slides in a slideshow created with 280 Slides. Click on the full screen button on the bottom right for full effect.

Enjoy.

A Sign of Things to Come

The intention behind 280 Slides was to illustrate what was possible using the Cappuccino framework. After using this application for even a short time, I can say I hope there are many developers busy putting this technology to good use.

If that’s the case, the already impressive world of web apps is only going to get better. With apps like 280 Slides available, the reality of a full fledged web OS doesn’t seem far off at all.
