  1. Hum…
    I still cannot play any of the sounds and musics I have put on my Keynotes on my iPad. LAME!
    I was so mad when I realized that, especially because the explanation was a fine print I didn’t see…
    I am still mad I can’t do that! A Keynote without sounds and musics is useless to me in my field!
    (A device that can’t multi-task either, for that matter)
    It’s cute though!

  3. Nothing to see here, moving on…

    For all of us who live outside the Reality Distortion Field, there is a (unfortunate) standard called, um, Microsoft Office.

    Until Apple decides to offer exporting to the most dominant and widely used format in business and education, these apps are limited to the Millions and millions of daily iDisk users…

    C’Mon, MobileMe iDisk reliability? Impressive!!!

    At the (public) university I teach, Pages is the standard format for all papers… Haven’t seen a .doc-file for a ling time.

    @MEES, kevt
    Yes me too. Just a simple editor, or something we can add comments. iWork.com on iPhone is pretty useless in my opinion…
