PPT to iPod - Free on authorSTREAM
authorSTREAM has a new PPT to iPod (free) feature for converting PowerPoint files to iPod/iPhone friendly formats.
PowerPoint presentations as video podcasts for iPod
authorSTREAM has a new feature available to transfer PowerPoint files into your iPod. Making PowerPoint available on iPod allows for greater flexibility and convenience for those who frequently use PowerPoint for school, business or leisure presentations. PowerPoint users can now easily utilize their iPods to practice, learn and enjoy PowerPoint on the go, without having to use bulky and uncomfortable laptops.
Download PowerPoint
As a viewer, you can now download PowerPoint files if their respective authors have given their permission to do so. This is a great feature for those who like presentations and want to use a slide or two to enrich their own.

Now You can Mark Your Presentations Private
If you have PowerPoint presentations that you want to share only with select authorSTREAM users, you can simply upload these as "Private". This means that your private presentations are secure and only registered users on authorSTREAM that you invite can see your private presentations. It also means that your private presentations are not idexable in the search engines and are not accessible directly.
Upload Presentations to authorSTREAM using authorPOINT
authorPOINT provides the option to upload PowerPoint presentations to authorSTREAM. You can also use authorPOINT Lite, the free PowerPoint to Flash converter to upload your PPTs to authorSTREAM. authorPOINT Lite is also very useful if you need to batch-convert or batch-upload presentations.
