The ability to collaborate as long as everyone is running OS X is well worth paying the $79, as opposed to the free and flexible solutions out there now that force me to have the ability to work with people running Windows and Ubuntu.]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
Or I can get this for free at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office_live (integrated with MS Office) or http://apps.google.com for purely online stuff.]]>Jan 6th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
iWork.com beta? Ooh, wow. How exciting.]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
If not, that's not even remotely close to competing with Google Docs.]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
I don't know, Google seems way ahead of whatever it is Apple could come up with AND it is free to those that can ignore the ads (or $50 a month for those willing to pay for the ads to be removed). That being said, I haven't seen significant updates to Google's offerings since their launch... and Google seems content rolling out very minor updates.

I guess I'll play the waiting game and keep my money in my pocket.]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa/).]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/

Most boring preeentation in a while, there's a reason why Apple's leaving the Macworld behind them. And btw: is Apple becoming greedy as hell? 2800 for a 17" model? And 99 f***king cent for the remote App? Are u kidding?]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/

And pray tell, how many businesses actually run Macintoshes anyway? Yeah, I like the idea of iWork for small businesses and students, but how many businesses do you know of which run Macs to take advantage of this ridiculously expensive sharing tool?]]>Jan 6th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=94]]>Jan 6th 2009 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/Jan 6th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
No wonder Steve stayed home. What a boring, disappointing keynote. ]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
Final Note: I probably would have jumped on a $699 netbook that was basically a Apple themed $499 MSI Wind... ]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
I would rather prefer free Google Docs than a $79 apple product.... or Microsoft Office Live which is also free and very nicely integrated in Office.

To be very honest. I am very disappointed with the phil's keynote and Apple doesnt even believe in a nice good-bye kiss...... i was expecting something really revolutionary, something like iPhone Nano or Mac Media server and not Guitar lessons in iLife.]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/View document online.
Add comments and notes.
Download a copy.

I do not see the EDIT part.
I signed in for the beta..
You must have iWork just to upload to a server so someone can just take a look at it, and comment. But he wants to edit, he needs to download and open it with his own copy of iWork.

Either I am missing something, either this service sucks. A lot.]]>Jan 6th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/
I've just tried it out with a few documents (the service is online). It's not that exciting, really.]]>Jan 6th 2009 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/apple-announces-iwork-com-beta/http://a.nnotate.com - upload a PDF / word doc to a web page, and get review feedback from several people by letting them attach comments / replies. It looks like they render fonts/layout properly in the browser too (unlike google docs which does a lossy conversion to html).

Apple's iwork.com flash demo is worth a look -
