AuthorStream: Powerpoint-Sharing for Tablets

authorstream AuthorStream.com is a Powerpoint-sharing platform, similar to Slideshare where you can upload your slideshows to the web and share them with others. Just recently, the company launched a new tablet-ready version of their site which should work on any mobile device, even those (like the iPad) which don’t support Flash. Now, using your computer, tablet, or mobile phone, you can browse the shared presentations in a format that renders them using HTML code instead of Flash.

The website will automatically detect your device and direct you to the appropriate version. I just tested it on my mobile phone and it worked just fine, although I do wish it was a fully mobilized site when arriving from a small-screened device. 

The company has actually beaten the better-known Slideshare to the punch in being the first to launch a Flash-less site, so it may have an advantage for now since many people want to share their slideshows in a native PowerPoint format on their new mobile devices.
