iWorks iPad updates

Posted by in iPad Apps, News

Fresh from Apple are some nice updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote for the iPad. Highlights for me are the .XLS and .PPT export features along with online access to MobileMe or a WebDAV services. It’s a start, hopefully other 3rd party syncing will arrive soon…. SugarSync or Dropbox would be excellent.
