Prezi has launched a brand new iPhone app that is designed to display presentations while accompanying the company’s other popular product, an iPad application for editing presentations. Prezi accompanied its news of a new iPhone app with data that shows the aggressive growth of mobile presentation solutions being adopted by companies that only a few years ago did not consider mobile based presentations a major factor.
Prezi’s iPhone can only display presentations, connecting to Apple TV or a projector to display the presentation on a bigger screen. The iPad app has added functionality, allowing users to create new presentations and work offline and update their presentations later.
The difference between Prezi and other mobile presentation services is that the company is offering a cloud-based service. That means users with an internet connection and a mobile device can access the presentation and have a lot of options that make creating and editing presentations in the cloud just as useful as desktop developed presentations.
The idea economy is the catalyst behind Prezi and its vision for mobile devices in the presentation category of business technology. Business users are comfortable now with utilizing mobile devices like iPhones and iPads in the workplace. This is what makes Prezi a company that has a future. Another factor is Prezi’s solution functionality. The developers have done a good job of taking the strength of mobile devices and developing software that fits the devices. For example, the editor app has a Zoom User Interface which was created by co-founder Adam Somlai-Fischer. This ability makes editing and viewing on smaller mobile screens much more practical.
Three million users have downloaded the iPad app from Prezi even though the cloud based application like other such services has latency issues. The bigger issue for the service might be the fact that it is Flash-based while competitors are using HTML5. Since it is being used as a native app on the iPad and iPhone it can avoid the Flash problems while online flash is rapidly becoming old news as HTML5 is taking over the web.
