I don't see a lot of "flaws" with Powerpoint because its functionality is very simple. I would say there are 4 key components to presentation: 1. predetermined agenda/topics for discussion (what people use powerpoint for) 2. ad-hoc discussion (whiteboards are a great tool for this) 3. verbal communication (in-person or phone) 4. non-verbal communication (in person or video) To beat powerpoint in functionality, just have #1 + (2 and/or 3 and/or 4). To beat powerpoint in marketshare...? Also keep in mind that 3 and 4 are largely being met with products like gotomeeting or webex (and others). No one is encompassing all four as far as I know, so there could be something there.
