Apple's Keynote

Keynote

Keynote is best known for its smooth animations, with enough customization options that you could mock up a new app in Keynote and make it almost feel like you're actually using the app, instead of looking at a demo in a presentation. When you're ready to present, you can use an iPhone to remote control your presentation from your Mac, or present online for free with Keynote Live's presentation streaming.

Prezi has developed a unique technique that makes presentations more engaging, escaping from the traditional look of a presentation with slides.
