There's no way "Numbers" will look anything like Excel. If you want to see the basics of what Apple's probably cooking, look no further than Quantrix.
Quantrix is a 4D spreadsheet application that allows amazing flexibility in visualizing your data. You have to try it to believe it. It started life on the NeXT OS, made by a company called Lighthouse. Sadly, they were purchased by Sun in the late 90's, and were never heard from again, after the Java ports of their applications completely failed to perform. Quantrix, however, has been resurrected.
Furthermore, Apple's Keynote product is *already* eerily similar to Lighthouse's once-magnificent "Concurrence" presentation software, so why shouldn't the fruit-flavored spreadsheet application follow suit?
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
