This year, Microsoft has been working hard to make its Office productivity suite more widely accessible, and Apple has responded by doing likewise with iWork. The iOS and Mac versions of iWork - which comprises of Pages, Keynote and Numbers - are now essentially free of charge, to those who recently bought a new iOS device or a Mac. But now, it has emerged that thanks to a bug with the Mac App Store, many of those running the trial version have been able to upgrade to the full, no-holds-barred version for absolutely nothing, and the same goes for iLife and Aperture.
The new and updated iWork and iLife apps for iOS and Mac are now live in the App Store and Mac App Store, respectively, and are now available to download. More details and direct download links can be found right here.
Today, Apple will be making some pretty significant announcements at their special media event, with the iPad 5 and Retina iPad mini both expected to be showcased alongside a number of other products and services. It mightn't always be the case that Apple events are streamed online for all to see, but thankfully, those looking to follow the action in its entirety can do so via live stream.
Apple and technology fans alike are highly anticipating the introduction of the new iPad lineup at tomorrow's Apple media event. The tagline of the official event invitation suggests that Tim Cook and his team has a lot to talk about, with the update to the official Apple website giving more than a little indication what the company's iLife and iWork range of iOS apps will feature on the agenda at some point.
It seems that Apple is well and truly embracing the beta testing spirit at the moment. Having to internally handle all those pre-release bundles and keeping everything in check is clearly proving too easy for the Apple whizzes as they have now opened up the iWork for iCloud beta to any productivity loving individual who happens to have a valid Apple ID.
Cloud-based productivity apps have long since been seen as the naturally progressive route of the industry, with Microsoft's Office 365 having enjoyed a relatively successful launch since first hitting the scene earlier this year. Given how Apple's flagship cloud service has quickly established itself as a secure, reliable and popular service, it was only a matter of time before iCloud and iWork joined forces in offering another dose of collaborative cloud fare, and the iWork for iCloud beta implementation has just begun rolling out to non-developers.
Apple has today pushed out updated releases of both the iOS and Mac versions of the popular iWork site of productivity apps. While the release of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is obviously Apple's biggest software push of the day, the Cupertino firm is also unleashing an updated version of its iWork suite of apps across both the Mac and iOS devices.
Tim Cook and his Apple team took to the stage in San Francisco as expected to announce the launch of the new iPad, throwing in a new Apple TV set top box for good measure. The announcement pretty much came as everyone had predicted, with no specifications or inclusions to blind side us. But while there has been plenty of talk about what hardware the company would introduce, little time was spent wondering about the software side of things and what the upgraded device would mean for the applications that we all know and love.
Apple has just released an update to their iWork suite. The update brings proper support for new features in OS X Lion which was released to the general public just a few hours ago.
iWork, Apple's productivity suite for Mac and iPad has now made its debut on the iPhone and iPod touch. All three programs: Pages, Numbers and Keynote are available on the smaller devices as of today.
