For years, Microsoft Office has been the gold standard for productivity software for business. If you took an inventory of the applications on most computers used in the corporate environment, chances are you’d find some version of Word, Powerpoint, and Excel installed on the majority of hard drives. MS Office has gotten so ubiquitous in fact, […]
Apple Updates iWork for iPad and It’s a Doozy
The big issue with Pages and Numbers on the iPad was finding a way to sync the documents with your workflow. Let’s say I was working on an article on my iPad, and I had to take a break. A few hours later, I was ready to work on it again, but now I had […]
Apple Gazette Reviews: ForeverSave
Sometimes, you’ve got to learn things the hard way, like I did the other day. I have multiple spreadsheets open on my desktop at one time, most of them in Numbers. Up until recently, I was using Excel for all of my spreadsheet duties, but once my wife started showing me the cool things she […]
Pages Now Features Export to ePub
Sometimes, I like to hear about things going on, then let them marinate in my head for a little bit so I can think about it before spouting my opinions. For example, let’s talk about the news that came around last week: iWork was updated. Big deal, right? Not really, except that it also included […]
iWork and the iPhone
When the iPad first came out, I bought Pages right away, because I figured that I’d be using it a lot. So far, that’s not really been the case, and that’s mostly because of the syncing problem. As of right now, apps that live on the iPad stay on the iPad and don’t go anywhere […]
iWork Suite for iPad Making Metric Tons of Money
When I first bought my very first Mac, I bought Office 2004 with it, as my security blanket. Now I find myself using the iWork suite more and more, mostly because of its ease of use and really cool features. I love me a spreadsheet, but it’s got to look good, too. Numbers does that […]
The iPad and Printing
I can’t get over this picture, it gets me every time. As it turns out though, there may be something coming down the pike.I’m not one to report on rumors, but MacRumors has Steve’s latest e-mail (he’s been quite vocal, recently) and it’s pretty clear. The question: Dear Steve, Why no printing on the iPad? […]
All Pages, All the Time
Some time ago, I decided to say goodbye to Microsoft Office forever, and completely switch over to Pages and Keynote. It was an easy decision for me: I wasn’t a heavy Office user anyway, preferring to keep most of my documents online, and using the application primarily to open client .doc files and the occasional […]
An Hour (or Two) With The iPad
I got a text message yesterday from my buddy, Tim. “When do want to check out the iPad?” I couldn’t respond fast enough. I had played with the iPad a little bit at the Apple store the day before, but it was definitely on a small scale. I wanted to play with it more without […]
How to Sell A Product 101: iPad Guided Tours Available Now
I remember when the iPhone 3GS first came out. I was at the office, checking out the latest news on the product, but I just wasn’t that excited about it. Not excited enough to replace my iPhone 3G, anyways. But then they came out with the iPhone guided tour, and I was hooked. I knew […]
