Apple Store page goes down, iWork '09 mention goes up

Yep, there's a Macworld keynote going on this morning -- as usual, the Apple Store just went down. That's not all Apple's web monkeys have been up to this morning, though: the company's Downloads page now lists "iWork '09," which doesn't quite exist yet. We'll see what Philly Schills has to say about that -- we're also hearing there might be some iPhone tethering news coming. Keep it locked right here! iWork screencap after the break.

[Thanks, Jakob]

More goodies for iPhone? Please? I'll forget all about the lack of cut and paste if Apple gives me turn by turn voice navigation! (That "too small of an antenna" claim still doesn't sit too well with me.)

Apple fixed it... the download page says iWork '08 again.

New Iphone Nano
New Netbook.

They've just fixed it, few minutes ago. Now it's iWork '08 again..

I really don't understand why any Ecommerce store needs to be taken down while new products are added. This always seems very amateur to me.

I don't know why but it feels like this time they will announce something impressing after a long time. I mean iPhone 3g is nice, 4G Nano is nice, new MacBooks seem nice, but they were regular updates. It's like this time either there will be a new product or a huge update.

I believe it has something to do with the framework they use, their own WebObjects. And while the suspense certainly works in their favor, i doubt it's deliberate as they use the same message when they simply do maintenance and I really don't see why they'd risk disappointing people for non-events unless they had too. I don't know why they can't just use IBM's e-commerce products like everyone else.
