Is it compatible with Excel spreadsheets on your PC?

Looks like a great start, but I'm waiting to see what the folks at Dataviz put out. They will most likely release a full suite for $19.99 or less. I don't think they can get away with charging $30 or $40 like they do on other platforms.

from website,

Version 1.0.1 is currently in development. It will have the following new functionality:
Import files from Excel

until that happens it's a no go. better to wait for Dataviz

I wonder when iWork and Office will be ported/developed for iPhone... I'm sure iWork will come first, though, as (to quote Ballmer) "...the iPhone will fail...". Then when it doesn't, he'll eat his words and MacBu will develop an iPhone version by 2010/11...

Maybe Macworld 2009 with the introduction of iWork '09...? Maybe even bundled with iWork and Office Pro/Standard/Full/Whatever they call the high-end version these days?

But then there would be no money to be made on the App Store, I know...

One can hope, can't he?

looks fairly impressive and this is the beauty behind the app store. when apple refuses to/doesn't have time to add in a mobile iwork app and let people save/import/export documents, someone else will eventually make that work.

so, since i hope it is inevitable apple releases a mobil iwork sort of program, how long until this one gets rejected since it will then duplicate functionality?

I'd wait a bit. Currently, there are only 3 reviews in the App store. 2 1-star apps, and a 5-star app, which was written by someone named "CPA-Cal"
