"
Some of you might have noticed I am working on an update ( rebuild ) of my Keypoint application. Now it is your turn to make a wish list of possible features that should be included in this version of Keypoint."
First of all this update will be free for those who bought the first version of Keypoint and will hit the App Store in about 2 months from now. It will not only be an update but a complete rebuild of the existing app, to make the app faster and more reliable. In this rebuild the app will be partial web-based but running in a cocoa environment.
The new version will include functions such as PDF export, more animations, better performance, updated user interface, etc. Powerpoint export is still in development, I hope to get it right and maybe include it in the 2.0 version.
Of course the app is far from finished and I am still open for feature requests, so feel free to comment this post with your deepest wishes.

Keypoint is getting ready to be the first app in the Appstore that lets you create and publish presentations on the iPhone. This preview of Keypoint is still a ruff version of what the final product should be like. Feel free to comment this post if you have any remarks or/and suggestions !
Keypoint goes Appstore

" Keypoint was one of my first real iPhone (web)apps that started as just a fun project. "
Concept behind Keypoint
With Keypoint you can create presentations on the go, edit them by adding slides, view them on your phone and share or export them. The first three (beta) versions that came out where free to use and will stay free until the native app hits the appstore.
The story
Keypoint started as just a small fun project to learn to develop and design for a mobile platform but after appearing the first time on Apple.com I wanted to do more with it. So I kept on working on it when I had the time and tried to improve the user experience by making it look like a real native app. With Keypoint I wanted to prove that that a webapp can be as good as a native app or at least reach the same level of user experience.
What’s next ?
After the release of the latest Beta version of Keypoint I was not sure what to do with it and didn’t have the time to work on. But now Keypoint is back from the past and I am working on a native version. Because my knowledge of native iPhone development (Cocoa, ... ) was to limited to do this I choose to work with PhoneGap. If everything goes well and Apple likes my app it will appear in the Appstore at the end of september 2009.
More ?
If you want to try the latest web version of Keypoint you will need to visit Keypointapp.com on your iPhone or iPod Touch. If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can always view an old walkthrough of the second Beta of Keypoint on this link.
