+Google has [acquired Zenter][1], an online slideshow maker that has largely flown under the radar. Zenter is actually the second slideshow related software that Google has swallowed in recent months, the first being Tonic Systems.
+
+Zenter is largely a front end application focusing on presentation and sharing features, while Tonic is is a back end app which can convert Powerpointfiles into Java documents.
+
+Together the acquisitions pave the way for the missing link in Google Docs -- a Powerpoint competitor.
+
+Though no firm dates have been revealed, look for the new features to be added to a "Presentations" apps in Google Docs & Spreadsheets sometime soon.
+
+Now the Google has all the pieces in place Google Docs looks, to be ready to take on Microsoft Office -- especially for those consumers that want online functionality in their office suite, something Office 2007 largely lacks. 
+
+However, as Om Malik over at GigaOm [points out][2], Google needs to work on the integration between the various Google Docs components before it's ready to hit primetime. Thus far Google docs lacks the cohesion of a true "suite."
+
+The closest competitor in the online market is undoubtedly Zoho, which offers similar tools, but thus far lacks the email integration of GMail (Zoho Mail is currently a private beta).
