Google has long been a wonderful vendor of free services that can rival even its commercial relatives.

With docs and spreadsheets, there was little reason to pay for Microsoft Office.

Soon, Google will add on to its Docs and Spreadsheets, with a Powerpoint competitor.

Eric Schimdt, the CEO of Google, announced Google Powerpoint in the Web 2.0 expo in San Franciso today.

Like its Docs and Spreadsheets brothers, Google Powerpoint will allow user to easily collaborate and share information over the internet.

The basis of all three web based products is a web architecture which Schimdt calls “a killer application”

Google Powerpoint is set to release in the US around Summer.

P.S. Also on Tuesday, Google acquired Tonic Systems, who has the technology to produce presentations and the power to convert other documents.

In an official blog, they said, “It will be a great addition as we add presentation sharing and collaboration capabilities to Google Docs & Spreadsheets,”
