When we made an analyst/media briefing ppt for Vembu Home, we thought we’d spare them the “nested points in font size 10” approach – and make it really ‘easy to digest’.

We also had something new to say – with our dual backup approach, the iPhone inspired UI, Amazon Cloud backup, etc. That certainly helped!

A copy of the ppt is embedded below. For all you pptholics, it’s a good intro to Vembu Home.

PS: speaking of ppts, there is an amazing tool we came across. Stay tuned for a ‘fluid version’ of the ppt below.
