When Steve Jobs announced that the iPad would have it’s own version of iWork, people were all jumping up and down in joy. However there were a lot of sync problems with the iPad version with the Macbooks and PCs. This probably slowed down the sales of the iWork app which kinda forced Apple to come out with version 1.1 pretty quickly. The newest update was just released today and it’s good to see that Apple is listening to their customers when it comes to this one. I’m a huge fan of iWork and I’ve been using it a lot on the iPad and I’m very happy for the new changes. I’ll be testing out importing and exporting Keynote presentations to see how “improved” the app really is. Here’s the complete list of changes:
