Why would anyone want any Microsoft crap on the iPhone?
Are you a retard?
This is not M$ software, it’s 3rd party and solely about files. You never receive anything in .doc? And needed to work on it?
Jeez….
@Joe
Dood, read the article, it’s not Microsoft.
Just to keep things clear, that was not me with the first post, he’s static, and I’m not a retard.

Microsoft makes the iPhone?!
That software would come in handy if you needed to work with MS Word files on your iPhone though.
I’d like to see iLife and iWork apps on the iPhone.
We might just have them someday, Steve willing.
Paddle faster; I hear banjo music!
When did Micro$oft start making an iPhone?
Where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Joe’s cousin is also his wife (and daughter).
But still, how do you edit anything on the iPhone without cut, copy and paste? I don’t understand how this would work.
who is Joe anyway?
Joe works for microsoft who created the iPhone
And Aldebaran is Joe’s line manager.
iPhone makes Micro$oft Word?
I’m confused.

WHAT ABOUT iPOD TOUCH???
will these iphone apps work for the touch?
Okay, perhaps it wasn’t obvious, but this is a web app. You do not store the docs locally on the iPhone.
MW: Started. Damn it, Joe… See what you started?
Microsoft Werd (Zune edition) is now available for the iPhone. You can get it at http://www.zune.com/iphone.
Microsoft was quoted as saying, “Yes, the Zune is the best bit of crap we’ve ever made, and we’re happy to get Werd onto our sister platform, iPone [sic].”
U got me.
I clicked the link. THX – feel so fooolish
hahahhaha.
BUT ZUNE is so fashionable — heee heee
Ok, I’m gonna state the obvious…
Why can’t .Mac subcribers do this type of stuff with a version of iWork?
By the time iPhone arrives in Australia, this better happen. At the risk of sounding like my compatriot Leyton Hewitt…
COMMOOOOOON!
Just for the record, (I know many of you already know this)
The iPhone can already READ .doc and .docx files if they are attached to an email sent to you using the mail program already built into the iPhone. You just can’t modify them.
This is more idiot software for bored geeks. Seriously. Who is going to want to EDIT freaking Word docs on their PHONE? The audience for this app consists entirely of socially-challenged people who love gadgets more than people. Bleah.
When I’m on the road, I really depend on being able to manipulate 3D visualizations of simian genome models. I also run algorithms that test proofs on Fermat’s Last Theorem and in the background I need to be able to render high definition, catastrophic weather and explosion scenarios. I sure hope the next software update for my iPhone let’s me get back to work.
This is good to know, I have several friends who wanted to use the iPhone for professional reasons, but were disappointed that you couldn’t edit word documents attached in e-mails… this should solve that problem…
