More iWork For iPhone Evidence On Apple’s Site
Earlier in June, evidence was found that revealed the iPhone’s ability, with iOS 4, to open attachments in external applications. This hinted at the possibility of iWork, Apple’s productivity app for the Mac and iPad, being released on the iPhone.
At the time, the screenshot revealed an option to open a document in Keynote. However the screenshot was promptly replaced with one mentioning iBooks instead of Keynote. To this day, it has been unknown whether the Keynote mention was a marketing error or an upcoming product release revealed early.
Today, a new discovery has been made on Apple’s website pointing to the possibility of iWork for iPhone. The discovery has been found on Apple’s international online stores when users follow the process to order a new iPhone 4.
During the ordering process, users can select a “Learn more” link for AppleCare which reveals more information about the service. On that page, there is a section devoted to software support mentioning “Using iWork for iPhone and other Apple-branded iPhone apps”.

Once again, this could be an error or the early reveal of upcoming features. If the latter comes true, it would be great to see. Since Apple already has the iWork suite for iPad, it would not be very difficult to create an iPhone version. However an obvious issue with iWork for iPhone is the iPhone’s smaller screen size that would cause a few challenges for content creation and editing.

Anyone thinks we'll hear some news on the Canada release on July 1st?
we will be hearing more news because the date is set to be mid July so…
I think that would be a fantastic Canada Day present 😀
UGGHHHH Why, Why do people insist on misquoting Apple? “By The End Of July” does not mean 'Mid-July', nor does it mean 'Late-July' It just means “By The End of July”. /rant
That would be nice but it's not gonna happen! 😉
I still think it'll be late July. 😀
bleh! DataViz DocumentsToGo's newest app update provides external attachment opening in different apps already.
I know – and you're The Boss so I bite my tounge – but still – it makes me: ಠ_à²
All these office apps/productivity would be much better if you could access the iPhone's hard disk and be able to transfer files to and from using disk mode. I don't like having to send a file to myself to view and edit it on my iPod. Also, other programs like DropBox could get the files onto the hard disk itself and be viewable and editable.
