Your ideas about creating an alternative to PowerPoint
jpwagner: I don't see a lot of "flaws" with Powerpoint because its functionality is very simple.I would say there are 4 key components to presentation:1.  predetermined agenda/topics for discussion (what people use powerpoint for)2.  ad-hoc discussion (whiteboards are a great tool for this)3.  verbal communication (in-person or phone)4.  non-verbal communication (in person or video)To beat powerpoint in functionality, just have #1 + (2 and/or 3 and/or 4).To beat powerpoint in marketshare...?Also keep in mind that 3 and 4 are largely being met with products like gotomeeting or webex (and others).  No one is encompassing all four as far as I know, so there could be something there.
