Apple Prepping for iWork '11 Mac App Store Launch?

Friday December 17, 2010 4:40 pm PST by Arnold Kim

According to a report from 9to5Mac, stock of iWork '09 is running low at retail Apple Stores. Meanwhile, Apple's online store auto-completes "iWork 11" as a possibility when searching for "iWork". While none of these findings are particularly conclusive, we have heard that Apple is planning on launching iWork '11 alongside the Mac App Store.

Apple has since given the date of January 6th, 2011 as the launch date for the Mac App Store. Last we heard, Apple was still debating whether or not they would also offer a retail box version of their productivity suite or keep it a Mac App Store exclusive.

Promotional materials for the Mac App Store have shown the three iWork applications, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, available on an individual basis for $19.99 each, below Apple's current $79 price for the complete retail box suite.

I know I'll get hell for this :P, but I've never found any use for most of the ilife and iwork applications apart from iMovie and iDVD, but iDVD has always failed on me, at least for 80% of the time, I would always experience syncing issues where the audio and video wasn't in sync..

I guess its great if you can make use out of these applications..

Given the introduction page for the new app store features iWork apps it makes sence that it is time for '11 anyhow.

I always thought that was just google suggestions being used. With filtering that is.

Nothing to do with apple.

I completely agree. I've used Numbers once for a basic invoice template. I've always found Microsoft Office to be far more practical. iLife is great for some people but I only dabble in photography and prefer Aperture.
