Does iWork.com work?

John Painter 4.21.10

Well, here's another test off my iPad of what iWork.com can do, maybe. What remains to be seen is whether iWork.com becomes widely adopted. Given that, not everyone will have an iWork.com account. For those that do, take a stab at following the posted link here towards my attempted sharing to

I'm a behavioral health professional living and working in Maine specializing in psychiatric rehabilitation. For years I've utilized mobile technology to improve the delivery of community based mental health services, and embraced the iPhone when it came out in 2007.

I am also a doctoral candidate at Franklin Pierce University where I have been researching the role of the Liberal Arts in American higher education.

I write as a guest for iPhone Life periodically with a special interest in helping other professionals (healthcare, education and government in particular) incorporate iOS devices into their work, and several years ago introduced the first iPhone and eventually iPad classes at Lewiston Adult Education in Lewiston Maine http://laeipad.blogspot.com/ concentrating on helping other professionals interested in using and incorporating iPads into their work.

Got a message to 'upgrade' my browser to FF3 or Safari, and it wouldn't proceed without it.

Figures, I see a show down coming with Google, iWork.com and now iDoc.com - Microsoft and Facebook have now teamed up to grab a piece of that pie in the cloud, and if they don't get it right Office could take a beating if MS shoots themselves in the foot. Thanks for letting me know.

I did click on your link which took me to iWork but it won't accept my Apple login to proceed. I honestly have not looked into iWork yet. Is this a pay service or do I have to register first to view or use it?

 Steve,

You'd log in with your iTunes account, if you have one, otherwise you'd be prompted to set up an account which you don't have to pay for.  I think Apple is going to have to keep at it to make this work, its not impossible but I think they're well behind hind others like Google and Drop Box - though they have issues too, and need to really watch out for a slew of similar new services coming, none the least of which will be from Microsoft.
