Apple Details iWork.com Beta Improvements: Keynote Presentations and Publishing Options
Last week, Apple released iWork 9.0.5, bringing a number of fixes and improvements to the company's productivity suite. Among the most substantial changes are enhancements to the iWork.com beta service that allows users to share projects online, including new support for playing back Keynote presentations and new options for publishing public and private documents.
Apple has just sent out an email to users registered for the iWork.com beta, highlighting the changes to the service and linking to updated feature pages on Apple's site discussing the capabilities.
Play back Keynote '09 presentations on the web, complete with animations.
Using Keynote for Mac, share your presentations and let viewers experience them with over 15 animations, video, hyperlinks, and audio. Play back a presentation on iWork.com using the latest version of Safari on a Mac or PC, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Just swipe to advance slides on your iPad using Safari.
New publishing options for public sharing and private online storage.
Upload your documents for private online storage and easily access them from anywhere, or share your documents on social networks using a Public link. Also, you can now embed your presentation seamlessly on a website or blog using the embed code provided by iWork.com.

Apple just doesn't get it.
Make iWork MS-Office compatible. Until then this "paid" service will only find a home in limited educational environments.

I agree, unfortunately, MS Office will be the standard for a long time.

iwork.com beta isn't a paid service. It comes free with iWork. And you have the option of uploading/downloading iWork 09, 08, MSOffice and PDF format files. It's a great feature that I use often for transferring my files between home and college.

Do you know iWork is Office compatible?
iWork can import and export office documents.
Some clueless people just don't get it. ;)
All cloud services has all in one.
Apple please check MS Live.com. Is an excelent service (and I'm an Apple fan ... so must be excelent).
Pleeeeeeeeeease do a complete service and dont stick with noumerous web addresess to complete a service others are offering for free.
And yes, Lice.com is working with excelence on iPhone (push)!
I kinda have a feeling this is going to end up being a free service. If they want to compete with Google, they'd keep it free. I love Google docs because it's seamless with Gmail and is easy to access. Sure, it's got its downsides, but hey it's free.
I just dont understand ... why is iWork.com separate from MobileMe.
indeed, you can use your mm as an apple id for the service so why not make it more integrated. Have, for example, your documents go to your iDisk. iWork.com could still be the site for others to see the files.
It could prove to be a good stepping stone to get folks to buy the full package (which could come down an easy $20 in price). They could make that part of a free feature set with limited storage, along with the whole now free 'find my' and perhaps the whole sync thing. Maybe also a limited space email (say 1gb). We pay for the rest.

at Janet and John level maybe...
for real work use it isn't compatible.
Even basic Word formatting screws up with headers and footers etc.

Full MSOffice Macros? VBA Support?
LOL!
The real world does more with an office suite than make garage sale fliers and greeting cards son.
iwork.com beta isn't a paid service. It comes free with iWork.
Apple stated that iWork.com would become a fee-based service once it exited beta mode and made a full public debut.
Did you even read the article? Do you think it's called "beta" for a reason? Why would Apple burn server juice for free? (Hint --> MobileMe)

You're not even using it for its intended purpose. Which... I suspect nobody else is because no one in the mainstream community uses iWork.Sorry if this pisses off the fanboys. As much as I like Apple products, iWork is useless in corporate america where file exchanges are the norm.
Unfortunately, the capability to directly paste a graph (e.g., Excel) and manipulate it as a drawing object disappeared from Office 2008, and Keynote never had this capability. Instead, both suites now force you to make edits by returning to the spreadsheet. This is perfectly stupid and inefficient for true power users that routinely need to modify graphs that may be years old.
Both PPT and KN are increasingly catering to a dumb crowd and leaving scientists without options. Once Office 2004 ceases to run on the latest-greatest OS/equipment, I'll be screwed by both MS and Apple.
