The new Google Presentations

The much awaited newer Google Presentations is now available in Google Docs. Some of my observations:

 

Drawing Canvas support
The Presentation slides are also Google Drawing Canvas. You can use them to draw on just like you would on Google Drawing Canvas. Think of the possibilities! :)

 

View Together
It appears that Google has killed the View Together feature in the new Presentations. This feature allowed multiple users to go through in a synchronized fashioned. This is unforutane, as this was one of excellent features of Google Presentations

 

Discussion/Comment support
I was hoping that Google would add the Discussion/Comment feature to the presentations with the new release. But it is not there. The Discussion feature works nicely in the Google Docs. Definitely needed in the Presentation editor as well.
