iWork's Keynote 'First Look' now online
Authored by: matthom on Jan 22, '05 11:29:41PM

It's great to have a review of Keynote - but what we really need is a Keynote vs. PowerPoint article, detailing distinct strengths and weaknesses of each.

If this already exists, someone please point me to it.

Keynote/PowerPoint Comparison

it looks like this comparison was using older versions of Keynote and Powerpoint ... the only reason i bring this up is i was delightfully surprised at some of the new features of Keynote in Rob's review, and it should improve Keynote's score in that head-to-head comparison at keynoteuser.com

I plan on doing something like this soon, though others will probably beat me to it! :)

iWork's Keynote 'First Look' now online

One of PowerPoint's most useful features for lecturing is the ability, with a Wacom tablet, to write directly on the presentation by writing on the tablet. It lets you turn PowerPoint into a blackboard or overhead. That has been a feature of PowerPoint for the last two versions at least. BUT, it is not possible in the previous version of Keynote. The questions is, has that now changed? Can I write on projected screens in the new version?

Otherwise, Keynote remains pretty but not functional for me.

I don't believe this is possible. I tried it, but it only treated my pen presses as mouse clicks.
