Keynote 1.1 Mac | 645 MB

Keynote is Apple Computer’s entry into the presentation management software arena, combining the ease of use, ease of learning and stunning look you have come to expect from Apple.

Keynote makes it a snap to create cinema-quality presentations with professional-caliber themes, razor-sharp text and beautiful charts and tables . Make layered images with transparent graphics and text, and adjust the transparency of each layer as you choose. Move from one slide to the next with 3D transitions. Control the pace of your presentation with stunning animations. And do it all with unparalleled ease of use.

The minimalistic interface in Keynote makes learning and becoming proficient on the product relatively easy. I’ve spent several months with PowerPoint and it still seems like a struggle each time I try to do something with it. Keynote, by contrast, I mastered (more or less) in the first week of use.

The controls are simple, well placed and don’t clutter up the screen as with PowerPoint. Most of the "good stuff ” is available via the Inspector, Fonts and Colors windows; the last two of which work more or less the same in all Mac OS X applications – one less thing to have to learn to become productive in Keynote!
