Peep at Apple iWork apps for iPod touch
It is reported that Apple is on a roll today. First, the company announced that it would debut not only iOS 5 and Mac OS X at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, but also the much-talked-about iCloud service. Not only that but Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave from the company since January, would make an appearance at WWDC (probably the keynote address). And now, Apple has issued yet another press release, which announces that its iWork software is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. That’s a big news day for a company that rarely speaks (or at least lets rumors do the talking).
Apple’s iWork productivity software, which comes in a Mac OS X version, has been available for the iPad since January of 2010. The complete iWork software suite includes a variety of apps: Keynote, for creating slide presentations; Numbers, for spreadsheets; and Pages, for general word processing. Like the iPad version, each app (sold separately) will cost new customers $9.99 apiece, but are free for users who already own the iPad versions. The Keynote remote, which is used to wirelessly control presentation slides, is also available for an additional charge of $0.99
Keynote: Create multimedia presentations complete with animated charts and transitions. You can play your presentation in full screen view on your iOS device or connect to a projector or HDTV. There is also a Keynote Remote app on iTunes that transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into a remote control for your presentation ($0.99).
Pages: When working on complex documents that are often much bigger than the display of your iOS device, Smart Zoom automatically zooms in to follow the cursor while you’re editing and zooms back out when you’re done.
That’s right, whether you’re packing a iPad or iPad 2, an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, or even a third or fourth generation iPod Touch, you’ll be able to get down on Keynote, Pages and Numbers no matter where you are to whomp up that presentation they’ve been screaming at you to make at work. And of course, you can also work on documents and spreadsheets and such too, and in many cases, they’ll even play nice with Microsoft Works systems so you can get your stuff to the guys who are tied to their PCs while you’re in the park merrily feeding the ducks and typing on your iPad.
The apps all allow users to import and export documents from their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to their Mac iWork and Microsoft office applications. Similar to ipod to mac transfer, the iWork apps also work with AirPrint, for wireless printing. According to Apple, “iWork apps now include improved document management with thumbnail images that let you find your files quickly, organize them and group them into folders using intuitive gestures.”
As expected, all of the features found in the iPad versions of these apps will be found in the iPhone/iPod touch versions. But both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch versions are optimized for touchscreen devices, and thus are somewhat less robust than the Mac version.
