iWork update. Here we go

finally iWork! ... pull this one out of the nosedive stevie!!!

But if they did that then who would buy the next revision. Apple knows the die hards will buy this model then buy again when they do improvements. Look at the iPhone. Everyone knew EDGE sucked, but people lined up all of the country and paid $600 for it. Then when the 3G came out they did the same thing... and some probably did it again with the 3GS.

The typical apple upgrade cycle

Oh wait... this is iWork for the iPad... nothing on the desktop version right now.

Summary: "We now have a 10" iPod Touch"

Could have skipped the presser.

They're gonna have to find a bigger blender.

 

[herkulease]

this is so long a boring. give a price so I can say if it'll flop hard or just slightly or say something like Iphone to Verizon next week or in spring.

Seriously are we going to type up term papers and work documents with our thumbs on this thing? What a waste. I'm using my desktop or notebook for any iWork stuff.

It could be cool for keynote stuff. I have a hard time seeing numbers working well. Pages maybe... apparently Steve was typing with two hands on it.

oops

oops

Where did you see that?

Never mind.

Apple needed to make a need obvious with this device for it to be a success.. however, they have failed thus far. It's an oversized iPhone... Some of the GUI looks great, but it just doesn't differentiate itself enough to make me want one.

 

[silverpig]

3G wireless built in... data plan pricing...

 

[herkulease]

here' comes pricing

 

[silverpig]

Where did you see that?

Never mind.

I'm listening to audio and heard the "$9.99 for iWork" as $999.

 

[herkulease]

free use of att hotspots is a bullet point. really steve. is it that pathetic?

 

[TangoJuliet]

Not bad on the pricing but its still using AT&T's crappy network. I wonder how much more these things are going to cripple their network.

 

[speg]

COME ON ONE MORE THING!!!!!!

Pppppppplllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeeeeee

 

[TheStu]

IF they sell like hotcakes like the iPhone then AT&T's network might just spontaneously combust

 

[D1gger]
