Apple Announces iWork For iPhone, iPod Touch And iPad Users

Apple today announced that its iWork productivity apps viz. Keynote, Pages and Numbers are now available for iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as the iPad. Originally created for the Mac, the apps have now been completely customized and redesigned for iOS and Apple’s Multi-Touch interface. These apps will allow you to create and share presentations, documents and spreadsheets on the go. This will add quite a bit of extra value to their portfolio come WWDC 2011 where more announcements on apps and software will be made.

You can be just like Jobs himself, minus the black sweatshirt

Keynote, Pages and Numbers import and export documents from iWork for Mac and Microsoft Office; print wirelessly using AirPrint and include Apple-designed themes and templates. All iWork apps now include improved document management with thumbnail images that let you find files quickly, organize them and group them into folders using intuitive gestures. From the Tools button in the toolbar, users can share any presentation, document or spreadsheet without leaving the app itself.
