14 DAY TRIAL // Cupertino has released new versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for users of its iWork suite for iPad, adding a flurry of enhancements across all three applications. The updates are free for existing users, while the apps cost 10 bucks a piece from the iTunes App Store.
Apple has announced that the latest Keynote, Pages and Numbers for iPad now allow users to transfer their documents directly to and from their MobileMe iDisk, so that they can work on them anywhere they have an Internet connection.
The company provides an example, saying “create a new Pages document on your iPad and copy it directly to your iDisk. Then, when you are back at your Mac, open the document from iDisk and continue editing right where you left off.”
