Apple's iWork suite rumored to go web-based
AppleInsider —
... Published: 11:50 AM EST Apple may build on its success in delivering web-based applications for its .Mac internet service by taking its iWork productivity suite of applications online as early as next week's Macworld Expo. A new report suggests that the trio of applications -- Pages, Keynote, and Numbers -- will be reintroduced as web applications, similar to the company's .Mac Web Gallery application that was ...
Macworld 2009 Announcemnt: iWork '09 goes Cloud
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
We just got a truckload of Macworld information dumped on us from our best source. As we piece it together we'll trickle it out. The first big piece of information is that iWork is going into the Cloud. Not just storage, either. We are talking interface for Numbers, Pages and Keynote (which is going to see some interesting new templates and transition additions). Yes, the iWork applications are now going to be Web Applications.
This isn't a huge surprise as the industry (Google, Microsoft, Zoho) is heading in this direction. Questions remain that ...
Apple to Announce Web-based iWork at Macworld?
MacBlogz - One Stop Apple News —
... Since the release of MobileMe’s Mail and Address Book applications, it has become more apparent that Apple is making a general shift to web-based applications. The folks at 9to5mac claim to have gotten word that Apple is preparing to announce a web-based version of the upcoming iWork suite of applications at the upcoming Macworld. ...
iWork, iLife ‘09, and More Are Coming at Macworld
Mac Soda —
They say the early bird catches the worm. Unfortunately, if the bird gets up at 2 AM for a worm, he’ll find nothing. Our story from a tipster, who tricked us into believing he worked at Apple, that we posted as if it was true, was wrong. iWork and iLife 09 did not come. Now 9 to 5 Mac reports that ...

Rumor: Will Apple Release on Online Version of iWork?
ReadWriteWeb —
According to some rumors today, Apple might be working on an online version of its iWork productivity suite. 9to5Mac reports that they have received information about this from credible sources, though as with all Apple rumors around this time of year, it is hard to discern truth from wishful thinking. However, given that online office suites are clearly an up-and-coming market, with Microsoft poised to join the fray early next year, it would make sense for Apple to be heading in this direction as well.

One of the interesting questions that 9to5Mac asks is if this ...
Macintosh at 25: Still the innovation leader
Outside the Lines —
On January 24, 1984, the Macintosh came into the world, starting the second major revolution in the personal computer industry. Steve Jobs and team took some lessons from Xerox PARC and created the first user-friendly, mass market computer.
By today's standards, it wasn't that user-friendly (some will remember disk-swapping with the original Mac, which had 128KB of RAM and a 400KB 3.5-inch floppy disk drive), but compared with Microsoft's DOS operating system, it was a major technical innovation. ...
Apple to take iWork '09 online?
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Rumors, iWorkWith just under a week left before Macworld 2009, the rumor mill is turning out many rumors. One new rumor, proposed by 9to5 Mac, suggests that Apple may be taking their iWork suite of software online. iWork is Apple's answer to an office suite, and combines a word processor (Pages), presentation software (Keynote), and spreadsheet app (Numbers). Just as Apple took mail, calendars, and contacts online with MobileMe, 9to5 believes they might do the same with Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Apple definitely wouldn't be the first company to take office ...
Apple’s iWork floating into the cloud?
VentureBeat —
You can add another rumor to the list of possible announcements at next week’s MacWorld Expo. Apple’s office software bundled as iWork is about to become a suite of web applications, according 9to5Mac’s “best source.”
So far, I haven’t seen any other confirmation that this is happening, but it’s a move that makes sense. After all, even Microsoft, seen as the embodiment of traditional (and increasingly outdated) buy-the-box software, announced earlier this year it will be bringing Office online. There has been debate about exactly how many people ...
Rumor: Apple iWork Going to the Cloud? [Software]
Gizmodo —
9 to 5's latest Apple rumor is that the iWork suite, Apple's Office competitor, is going to the cloud. Which is good news because I hardly use Office and find myself in Google Docs when I need to use a word processor or spreadsheet. If true, there's no doubt in my mind it'll require use of the paid MobileMe service, which is right now a bit over priced. Adding more functionality to the service is a great way to add value, but Google Docs is free. [9to5mac]

iWork may become a Web Application at Macworld?
SlashGear —
9to5Mac is making claim that Apple will be making the announcement that iWork will be composed of web-based applications. This would mean that future versions of Numbers, Keynote and Pages would all be entirely run in a web browser. This does not necessarily mean that there will not be a native Mac version as well.
It has become very clear that Apple has made an effort to move into the web-based application market with the release of the MobileMe extensive Mail and Address Book applications, which are entirely web-based. There has also previously been talk of an entire “Webkit-based” ...
Mac News Round-Up, 1 Jan 2009
MacObsession —
Happy New Year!
On a day when lots of Microsoft Zune media players (thousands? millions?) suddenly stopped working, let’s do a quick round-up of the latest Mac-related news and rumours.
With Macworld just over a week away, the rumours are going strong as usual. Will we see a web-based iWork software suite? Apple’s iWork has its share of fans — it’s does 80% of what you expect from an office suite. After the much-publicised hiccups during the introduction of the web-based Mobile Me services by Apple, they seem to have gotten their act ...
Pre-MWSF Rumor of the Week
Daring Fireball —
Seth Weintraub:
I’ve heard that iMovie will largely (if not entirely) be a Web Application and Apple would offer its users to “upload your movies to us and edit them there.”
Sure, iMovie as a web app. Uh-huh. Slogan: “And you thought USB was slow.”
Weintraub has also reported that the iWorks ’09 apps are going to be web apps too. (I like how, when linking to the one and only report of iWork-suite-as-web-apps, which is his own report, that he says the move is “largely believed”.)
There may well be a germ of truth ...
Apple’s New Cloud Offerings May Be (Mostly) Free

... to unveil a new suite of web-based applications that play off of iWork. They will primarily be extensions of their desktop counterparts not replacements. As Weintraub notes, the entire iWork suite that Apple currently offers, including iMovie, will be given core functionality additions online. Based on Weintraub’s information, we were able to confirm the upcoming cloud-based push, as well as some new specifics about pricing and the way Apple will unveil the information. ...
An Argument For an Apple Netbook
The Mac Observer —
An Argument For an Apple Netbook by on January 2nd, 2009 at 9:33 AM If you've been paying any attention to technology this year then you'll know that netbooks, the class of wee laptops pioneered by ASUS, is the talk of the town. Few hardware makers can figure out where, in the grand scheme of things, these little devices fit in their lineup. Make them too underpowered and they look like toys, make them too powerful and they could siphon sales from more profitable offerings. Hardware makers like HP and Dell are content to test the waters with some interesting devices that are stylish as well as convenient. But style and convenience ...
New Mac Mini, the Woz expected at low-key Macworld
Yahoo! Tech Advisors —
[image] Written off last year, the Mac Mini is likely to make a comeback at Macworld next week, and at least one of Apple's co-founders—Steve Wozniak—is set to attend the show. Otherwise, expectations for the (probably) Job-less Macworld are pretty modest. The Macworld 2009 keynote is slated for 9 a.m. PST Tuesday (just a couple of days before CES 2009 kicks off in Vegas) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, with senior Apple VP Phil Schiller subbing for an absent Steve Jobs . Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will also be attending the show —but he'll be representing third-party hardware maker Axiotron, known ...
My Macworld Expo Keynote Predictions
The Mac Observer —
My Macworld Expo Keynote Predictions by on January 2nd, 2009 at 1:13 PM I am about to do something I generally criticize when I see others doing it: Make last minute predictions as to what Apple will announce at next week's Macworld Expo. Typically, my attitude is, why bother? Wait a few more days and we'll all know for sure. There's no need to speculate at this point. So why am I making an exception this time? Partly, it's that, between my post-holiday let-down and my pre-Expo preparations, I find myself with nothing else particularly relevant to write about. It also just seemed like a fun thing to do. Not much of an excuse, I ...

Web Applications Reset the Playing Field
SitePoint —
I’m not generally in the habit of republishing unconfirmed rumors, but I read a couple recently about the possibility of Apple releasing cloud-based, software as a service (SaaS) versions of iWork and iMovie this week that got me thinking about SaaS. Perhaps this is an obvious point, but it only just really became clear to me, so I thought I’d share: SaaS resets the playing field.
As software applications move to the cloud, once dominant leaders will be challenged by new upstarts. Microsoft Word will face a real challenge from the likes of Google Docs and Zoho Writer. Quicken and Money ...

6:40 am | 0 recommendations | 0 comments MacWorld 2009 Rumor Round-Up | posted by Kit Eaton With the doors of the Moscone center in San Francisco soon to burst open upon a Jobs-less Macworld 2009 , the Internets are predictably alive with rumors--some more believable, some less believable, some just stuffed with desperate hope. Here's a summary so far.

But that's not enough for some: "the device ...
iWork.com set to go live tomorrow
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
iWork.com, a domain that Apple has owned for a long time is set to go live this week with a public beta of the new iWork collaboration package. We went over this briefly before but need to clarify our previous statements a bit.
iWork.com will be a online site where you can share and view (but not yet edit) iWork documents online. Workgroups will be alowed to share documents, comment on documents and view them to a certain extent in the browser window. We haven't recieved clarification of how well this will work and how many capabilities this will have. Somewhere between ...

Imagine what Phil Schiller is going through today. At 11 a.m. CST, Apple's marketing chief will start the first Macworld keynote by someone other than Steve Jobs since 1996. Schiller steps out onto the stage with the long shadow of the Apple co-founder looming over him, particularly after Jobs' revelation on Monday that he's got a hormone problem . Talk about pressure. On top of that, this is the last ...
