After many months of waiting, it looks like iPhone fans will finally be able to use iWork upon their mobile device (albeit for a price).
Now you can use Keynote, Pages and Numbers on iPhone and iPod touch to create amazing presentations, documents and spreadsheets right in the palm of your hand,†said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The incredible Retina display, revolutionary Multi-Touch interface and our powerful software make it easy to create, edit, organize and share all of your documents from iPhone 4 or iPod touch.†(Apple)
Why Apple failed to do this sooner is a mystery, especially in light of Google releasing an official Docs app for Android.
Despite the belated entry, Keynote, Pages and Numbers are available upon the App Store for $10 a piece (which is pricey as most third party office suites supporting Excel, Powerpoint and Word range between $10-$20).
Although I’m personally not an iWork fan (due to Excel having no equal), for those of you who enjoy iWork, what are your thoughts regarding the app?
Also does the small screen ideal for the app or should have Apple simply stuck with keeping iWork and iPad app?
