Apple's redesigned touch-enabled iWork office suite may seem like an afterthought, but more than anything else on the iPad it's indicative of how we'll use computers in the future

The iPad's iWorks Suite: Apple
I used each iWork app yesterday, and while I couldn't spend enough time with them to come to a definitive conclusion, they definitely surprised me. Text-input issues aside (we'll get to that in a minute), each appeared more than capable of offering a similar, if not much improved experience, over their desktop counterparts. And for that, all credit is due to multitouch.
In Pages, one of word processing's most arduous tasks--formatting text cleanly and easily around graphical elements--has been made orders of magnitude easier with touch. Once tapped, pictures and charts can be moved, resized, rotated and masked with finger swipes, pinches and twists, as the text instantly and naturally wraps around them. Once a graphical element is touched, a contextual box can be summoned to the surface with another tap offering options unique to that element, such as its layering position, size, and the like. Again, my time with the app was brief, but the potential available once clicks and drags are replaced by our natural inclination to touch and interact with our fingers was immediately apparent.
Keynote provides a similar interface for composing presentation layouts, which are more graphically intensive and thus even better served by touch. Added to the mix is an intuitive way to rearrange sides individually or in batches with taps and swipes. And while spreadsheets may be the least exciting runt of the litter, one thing touch certainly improves is navigating to or selecting multiple cells in the document: tap, and you're there.

Gadgets, John Mahoney, apple, apple tablet, computers, design, iPad, multitouch, user interfacesThis is significant. It's the underlying concept behind all touchscreen interfaces--removing the mouse and pointer's layer of abstraction to get us back to working with our hands. Most previous attempts at a more natural and expansive touch interface have been hampered by too small a screen or inelegant design. The iPad has neither.
And in choosing productivity apps as the first test case for these new interfaces, Apple is providing a familiar stepping stone into the world of interacting with nothing-but-touch in software we've been using for decades. The first personal computers were largely about getting work done, and word processing and spreadsheets were for several years the only real software options. Apple's not plunging us into some wild, augmented reality desktop interface navigated by touch. They're weaning us off the keyboard and mouse in baby steps.
But there's still a ways to go. After about 30 minutes, my impression of typing on the iPad is that it's doable, but awkward. Apple is usually content to let users sort out such limitations for themselves, but with the iPad, they've uncharacteristically provided the option to attach a physical keyboard. Paired via Bluetooth or connected to the dock, a keyboard solves the problem of awkward text entry--and ties you to a desktop--creating a hybrid machine that's 90 percent touch, 10 percent traditional desktop PC or laptop.
The iPad, then, is a transition to a future when, in Apple's mind, multitouch is so good that we no longer need anything but a screen. Whether that's an appealing place for you or something that sounds dreadful, Apple obviously has a vision of the future for which they're smartly and methodically laying groundwork. And once the text input problem is solved (hyper-accurate handwriting or speech recognition, perhaps?), you can bet that's the future we'll have.

No Flash end of story.
You can not have a better browsing experience
without being able to access all of the internet (fail)
I could live without a camera for my skype,
or being able to run multiple applications at one time,
but I will not accept it not working with flash.
Yeah, Flash is almost as common on websites as wheels on a car. Without it this is a nonstarter.
Flash, smash. Agreed: some angst in the short term but real gain and security in the long term with HTML5 (long term = 1 yr or more). Expect some, if not most, of the issues resolved in Ver 2, just like the iPhone. Sitting on the sidelines until then is OK. However, the bar you set for participation isn't necessarily shared but others. Surprised?
??? no flash, no running multiple apps? this is more like an enlarged version of the Iphone than an actual computer...
as far as what the Ipad should have been and what it actually is=FAIL.
I can definitely see deticated touchscreen computers that can be used to quickly do our bidding.
These are PERFECT for the engineering, designing, artistry, and logistic fields.
I.E. Easy access to data, 3d diagrams, dynamic interfaces, productivity(and i do not mean apple store prod. apps).
It has a lot of potential that's probably going to be filled by other companies like Microsoft, Google.
I'm glad apple is what it is: a mass produced public prototype company.
I'll wait till someone hacks a Windows OS onto one before I consider getting one, end of story.
For those who already own an iphone/ipod touch, i understand your frustrations with the ipad for you its really nothing new right now, we get it. But consider the implications a device like this could serve in the future as a replacement to netbooks/laptops. My parents are the most computer handicaped people on the planet but I know if they were to pick one of these up, they would have no difficulty operating it. Apples success derives mainly from their simplicity in design, so this is only a step in the RIGHT direction. And as for those hardcore Linux user complaining about the future of Totalitarian Apple takeover, this is still a niche device so you still get to keep your basement Swordfish setup. And I'm sure for those who are students (myself included) this device is a godsend. I for one absolutely approve.
Has anyone here even bothered to read this story? I guess not. Apple has finally perfected the internet.
@dolbydigital2 maybe so, but even my parents surf sites that use flash. and they run multiple programs at once. not that the ipad couldn't do those things, it just doesn't. which was a flawed decision imo.
@boka no, apparently you are the only one possibly intelligent enough to read and fully comprehend that string of words up there. congratulations!
give me a freaking break.
this device is pathetic.
why don't you write about something usefully for a change?
No company gets everything right on the first try. Every product has revisions and upgrades. Undoubtedly, the ability to use Flash and to run multiple programs will come with future units. If they can manage to find a good solution to text entry, the Ipad will wipe out netbooks. Yes, it is more expensive than some of the units out already, but Apple has shown over and over that people will spend more for their designs. The real progress is in the multi-touch interface. Apple may final succeed in killing the mouse and keyboard.
The people saying lack of flash is a non-starter are a mystery to me. In all my browsing the ONLY thing I ever use flash for is video - video that they can deliver to the iPhone directly instead of going through a flash player (which is what a lot of sites do today when you visit on an iPhone, like Break.com for example). You miss out on a few flash games, but gain tens of thousands of games you can get through the app store. There are so many games now you could probably spend a year doing nothing but playing free trial versions - and all of them work on the tablet, at launch.
It's also funny that so many people are focused here on Flash and browsing, when the whole point of the article is explicitly about non-browsing applications and how Touch can make them better.
Like Kgeiner, I'm wondering the reason for all this emphasis on Flash. As far as I can tell, all Flash does is present truly obnoxious advertising and burn up my CPU so I have to restart my browser.
When, not if, I get my iPad, the lack of flash is something I will appreciate, 99 web pages out of 100.
By the way, just in case a lot of you guys are disgruntled Flash programmers, you should take a look at HTML 5/JavaScript. JavaScript is basically identical to the ECMAScript Flash uses, except (in my opinion, anyway) it's quite a bit more robust and easier to work with. If, of course, you don't have to accommodate our friends at Microsoft and their dismal Internet Explorer. Sigh.
I would be curious to hear what others think of the new iWork. I was pretty darn impressed by the demonstrations. I think it will be a lot of fun to create documents using iWork on the iPad.
If this is at all similar to the trajectory of iPhone users, a lot of you will be joining me in line when this thing actually becomes available :-).

Flash is everywhere. This text box im typeing in probably uses flash. Flash runs in the background like pipes in a city's water system. So its like saying "I never see pipes, I never use them!"
YOUTUBE uses flash for its videos.
I use my iPhone for a lot of web browsing today, and so I can tell when I'm using Flash by the little icon that indicates plugin incompatibility. I view a very large variety of web sites, and it is extremely rare (I would say no more than one out of every 100 web sites I visit) that I see a site that's unviewable without Flash.
Thor, I have very rarely seen a text box on a web form using Flash, but just in case you were right, I checked the source of this page. I am currently typing in a perfectly standard textarea element, just as I would have expected. No flash.
I can tell when I'm seeing text (as opposed to graphics) in flash because it is not anti-aliased and looks absolutely dreadful. If you're looking at very difficult to read text on the web, it's almost certainly flash.
Youtube has H.264 versions of most of its videos that you can view on the iPhone, so you're set there already.

If you are so pissed that this is not a "serious" computing device, just download the SDK and code what you need for it ... what's that?, you can't write your own apps? - I get it, the people who run winblows think they are the "real" computing community. They dismiss this device as easily as many did the first iPods and iPhones. I agree that Steve Jobs mis-marketed the thing and I'm not a fan boy.
My phone is the Nokia E61i, which 3 years ago was recording video and accessing YouTube (as well as saving YT vids locally), it blew the iPhone away before the iPhone even hit the market - good thing nobody has wasted their money buying iPhones. [/sarcasm]
I might pick this up gen-2 just to surf the web and check email on the sofa at home, but maybe that's what 40% of the computing market uses machines for anyway (like my mother and father), and those non-power users are not reading and commenting on engadget and popsci.
@gda. it has an iPhone OS, Iphones have gone through 4 generations. How many tries does it take!!!
@dolbydigital2. The potential is there, I agree. But they just utterly fail at realizing i, or doing something about it. Apple likes controlling their customer base as much as a dictatorship does.
@david. I -think- the iphoneOS tries to convert flash websites and sometimes fails. You should see how many errors I have listed everytime I visit websites. although flash doesnt kill it for me as much as no multitasking does. Apple is probably doing this because of user friendliness, but the more 'user friendly' apple makes their product, the more restricted and utterly retarded it is as a technology item.
@rgcnyc The 1st iphones SUCKED. A lot of the linux and mac community is upset as well. Everyone was thinking they were getting to use a fully touchscreen computer, not an oversized iTouch.
@Meshca "Everyone was thinking they were getting to use a fully touchscreen computer, not an oversized iTouch." Everyone thought whatever they wanted to think about the device, and they were wrong. If they don't want to get an iTouch with a 10inch screen, they don't have to buy one but should get an HP Tablet instead. Those people had unrealistic expectations, but my wife, my parents, and my boss all want an "uncomplicated" computer like this they can use for light computing and silly games, that's 4 people who I know who will buy one as soon as they are available. Me, I'll wait and see what jailbreaking and 3rd party apps will bring. I think people are still idiots for buying iPhones today, but they seem to like 'em.
I know they have this new a4 chip but I think the larger screen and all these new apps are going to slow this machine down, this could be why the ipad does not feature flash, nevertheless less I am certain the second gen will be fantastic and I will defiantly buy it
A user can't use the touch screen features with flash. Flash is like its own universe within the web. I know because I'm a flash designer. Flash should be kept out of the iProducts.
I'm currently using a pen-and-touch tablet from Wacom. It does multitouch gestures and the convenience of pointing with your finger, coupled with the precision of a stylus when you need it. When I go back to a mouse, I find it slow and imprecise (not to mention hard on the wrists). So I definitely see a future for multitouch.
On the other hand, it's not clear how this should work at the desk. An upright multitouch monitor is not practical for continuous use. It would have to be brought down, ideally below the level of a standard desktop, perhaps at a 15 degree slope. But that makes it difficult to use the desk for anything else. (I can't speak for everyone, but I certainly haven't eliminated papers from my life.) It also makes it difficult to discuss screen contents with other people. The control tablet, separated from the screen, may take a little more adjustment, but is easier to incorporate into your desk environment (mine is next to the keyboard on a pull-out keyboard drawer) and once you do adjust is very nearly as quick as on-screen touch.
I have a feeling that people will find uses for these things that are not being mentioned here.
Recently I saw a guitarist/vocalist flipping madly through his loose notes on a music stand. He didn't have time to find the lyrics he was looking for, so he faked his way through it.
An iPad could offer an index he could simply reach out and touch to see the lyrics, large, clear and nicely lit up so he could sing properly.
Could a musician use an iPad to compose and perform music? Is it a poor-man's teleprompter? The convenience of having all your notes in a single tablet that won't float away in the breeze...that's pretty good.
Just think on the millions of people that uses a laptop PC with windows for surfing the web, e-mail, chatting, videos, photos and office work. And they have problems with windows, (or mac os X in less degree), besides the virus and hacks. You handle them the Ipad and...forget many problems! Besides, they can use it as agenda, calendar. Why do they need a PC? There are people who handles windows and software issues very well, but we are not the majority. Think about...Ah! And 10 hours battery!!
There's an elephant in i-pad's room. It's very hard on the eyes to read books on a backlt LCD screen such as the i.pad has. That's why e.ink readers like Kindle and others have taken off. People who buy the i.pad for reading books are going to be very disappointed, if they don't go blind first. If they'd had a pixel qi screen and a real keyboard instead of a virtual one, Apple would be in front of the crowd on this one, instead of a hundred miles behind it.
This shirt would be C O O L to wear at the Groundhog Festival in Punxsutawney This Summer! Phil might even be replaced by a robot by then - if PETA has any pull.
It's usually Pandora that gets brought up. "I want to be able to stream music while doing other things". Apple bought Lala.com. Expect streaming music in itunes sooner rather than later.
Particularly with these mobility devices, if you are not actively manipulating the program, you do not need or want a program to be using system recourse. Android devices (as an example) "multitask" albeit with limitations. Yes, some widgets can run in the background, but your average app shuts down, functionally speaking, when it is not on screen.
Disreguarding lack of flash and typing issues... is there anyone else who wants to know the specs of this thing? at most its a thin tablet pc. but what can it do? is it running on an atom? ARM? Core? Phenom? how much ram?, speed of ram? storage? SSD? HDD?, graphics power? can it play HD video? hdmi/dvi out? cmon specs ppl specs!
No SSD,no multitasking,no USB ports, and infested with DRM end of story I don't want one.
I'll buy a touchbook instead it'll do everything the iPad can do and more, costs less and does not sound like a bust enhancing product.
Has a real desktop OS Ubuntu vs a crippled phones OS
It also has 10hours of battery life, can multitask,plays 720p video even on external screens,and is expandable oh and it cost $200 less.
The iPad has a 1ghz arm core processor called A4 and runs iphone OS 3.3.2.
In short it's a just a big ipod touch or an over priced nettop depending on how you look at it.
The lack of multitasking,USB storage support and an SSD slot are unforgivable omissions as even a $199 chinese netbook has these features.
I still expect a lot of people will buy one because it's trendy and it's Apple.
Hey Everyone! If you want flash and multiple apps, you make it!
This is the perfect gadget for the family that drives it's child one and a half blocks to school in their Hummer.
$30 a month for 3G with NO CONTRACT. I'm sold.
Overpriced? I think not.
@ tdeveson: please tell me how it's a richy rich device when it's cost starts at ONLY $499. You can't get a tablet this fast, with this much power, for anything close to this price.
Ignorance is bliss and there are a lot of blissful people who have commented.
Flash is zero issue at all. It won't be long that anything you want (even ads) will be arriving to the iPads and other devices in formats other than flash. Take YouTube for instance. It automagically knows to show things in a format that the iPad can run. Other sites will do the same thing. It's also called HTML5.
Multitasking is something that would be nice but MOST people who will be using this will not care. There does need to be a better way for the device to remember where programs were at when you go from one to the other so that the program comes back right to where you were when you left. Also, if they make it fast enough, who cares if the second program isn't doing anything in the background.
My idea on that though is to give the background task a low priority so that it only tries to do something when the front program is doing absolutely nothing and stops as soon as the front app does anything. Meaning, zero CPU cycles unless nothing is happening on top.
I wish all OSs were more like this. There is too much waiting going on with computers. At least mine. So I guess I do pretty CPU intensive things.
I don't think we really have any kind of idea yet what people will be using iPads for the most. Right now there are no apps for the iPad. Yes there are 140,000 iPhone/iTouch apps that will "run" on the iPad but they aren't Made for the iPad. Once we start getting some good ones with good interfaces, the light will suddenly go on for a lot of people pooh poohing iPads right now.
Despite what you think, it is just an oversized iPhone/iTouch. Right now our imaginations can run wild in many wrong directions as to what we hoped it would do, what we wished it can do. I think we will be very pleasantly surprised when we see what it will actually do, when someone can see the potential and take advantage of it.
I am waiting it. I hope that next gen of ipad have camera.
I already have one, I know people......
Apple did do something unexpected: IT AWESOME !I can't wait to get one.
It is a shame not to have flash but I rarely want to run multiple apps
I purchased a used Motion table PC a couple of months ago to use as a pdf reader. If I would have known that I could get an IPad for $500 I would have waited.
The tablet is far more useful than I had ever imagined. It is old and slow so I had hoped my kids wouldn't want to use it. No such luck. it gets used for surfing in the living room, playing games, studying online school notes etc. etc. Yesterday I found it on the exercise bike, on a recent road trip it got used to watch downloaded movies.
Even with the stylus input it is much handier than a laptop. Once you get used to a tablet you wonder how you ever did without. I expect the IPad to make it even more so.

This is officially the worst invention ever created!

Hi. I'm a "viral marketer" paid to visit forums and try and influence others. The company I work for doesn't have the time or the wherewithal to innovate so they pay me to bash competitors products that do.
I wish there were some way to tell who was real and who was "working the crowd". Perhaps the first few comments are always "paid"?
Flash? Yeah. We needed that in the year 2000. We don't now and it's mostly just ads; cpu sucking flash ads. There are many formats for streaming moving pictures over the internet ... and YouTube works just great on my iPhone as I'm sure it will on daPad.
No multi-tasking? Yep. Right on script as they're supposed to be. Of course the OS /can/ multi-task it simply doesn't allow third party apps to multi-task. What does that mean to me? Security. All Apps must come through app store whether free or otherwise. What does that mean to me? Security. Do you think this amounts to platform censorship? Make a web page.
No USB? Yeah. And there's no place to plug in your Zip drive either. Save your data in the cloud, Virginia. Space is cheap there. You can access it from anywhere there. And it's freakin 2010 already.
I'm sure it will have it's faults. And it's idiosyncracies (they aren't for sale yet so I don't have one to gripe about). But if it's anything like other multitouch products from Apple, I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised again.
And I really appreciate someone having the guts to prune away old tech from an innovative new appliance and to help the rest realize we don't have to horde technology. Give it up. Move forward.
Actually, I think that Fisher42 indirectly hit upon why the iPad was designed the way it is.
For better or worse, the Apple makes its products with 2 basic design paradigms...
1) Easy interface
2) Locked-down system controlled only by them
As a coder, I tend to use multitasking and always want access to any/all technologies regardless of whether or not I use them. But thats just me and why Apple products are generally not for me.
And frankly, Flash is used for far more than ads, movies and annoying displays. I have created many interactive apps using flash and at times, it was the best way to go.
Unfortunately, most of the flash that people see now are in the above categories.
Also, flash CAN be used for interactive apps using touch-screen technology.
Anyway, I have great hopes for the new tablets coming out as replacements for laptops and possibly pc's.
My only concern is greedy companies and dumb patent office people allowing ridiculous patents that will prevent competition in the market (like a patent on using your finger on a touch-screen to move an object).
whats that whining sound - oh that would be the ipad criticism. It shows how threatened the net-book squad feel when they have to trash a product no-one has even reviewed. Think the best idea is to wait and see, as with the iphone and ipod the interesting thing is what the developers will do with the apps. It is worth noting that until the apps store the hand held game industry have been game charging around $30 v $2-$5 on the ipod
How I'd love to know how many of you iPad naysayers wind up buying rev 1 despite your negativity about it!!!
I too have been slagging off the iPad, but I've decided not to be tied down by any of my past expressed views.
I've always thought that a hung parliament would be a disaster, but now I'm thinking maybe it would keep our politicians on their toes.
I thought the iPad was a strange even grotesque idea. Now I'm thinking maybe I'll get one.

Dude I totally love this thing.I always loved gadgets and this is the ultimate one. It even has an app for calculating foods and callories so that i don't always have to go to Eat Healthier Foods .
With the imminent launch of Apples iPad, and the numerous slick demos that have been revealed for any or all tablet versions in the last few months, that cataclysmic shift is upon us, and if there is any consensus in the publishing world, its that its all very much a work in progress.

Im sorry but flash is a must at the moment. But it make sense that the iPad dosent use Flash.iPod is a Apple product and Flash is a Adobe produckt. Apple and Adobe are competitors. Do i need to say more.TV
In all my surfing is the only thing that I never use Flash for video - they deliver video directly on the iPhone and do not have a Flash player (many sites today, when the iPhone on the visit as a break. COM, the example). You lose a couple of Flash games, but you can earn tens of thousands of games to get to the App Store. There are so many games now, you probably spend more than a year you can play a free trial version - and start all their works on the tablet.mortgage calculator

Firstly I was shocked while listen there in no buit-in camera funationality.
But as I saw it then i conclude you are totally true with statement regarding iPad.
"Keynote provides a similar interface for composing presentation layouts, which are more graphically intensive and thus even better served by touch." apple make so simple..I think i have to try this ipad's.
since my friend told me regarding this device, i'm really want to know about new feature.
Flash, smash. Agreed: some angst in the short term but real gain and security in the long term with HTML5 (long term = 1 yr or more).

Well, the article is actually the sweetest topic on this related issue. I fit in with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your forthcoming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the tremendous lucidity in your writing. I will immediately grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates.

I have to say.. I tried to resist Apple for much of my life.. BUT.. I'm not hooked on my iPhone and iPad.. With respects to the OS.. there just is nothing comparable on the market.

I been using an iPad on my home since a couple months ago and the only thing I see it's missing it's a companion cradle that can turn it on it's side for different stuff. But as everyone is saying this is the future. Not hard to believe.

Ipad is a great peace of hardware. No flash is only one issue in my opinion.

im loving my new iPad. Got to say its one of my finest purchases ever. Really enjoying it.
I recently got an iPad and i agree that its nice sleek design is somewhat futuristic. What a fascinating age for technology that we live in, its the dawn of the future!

There's an elephant in i-pad's room. It's very hard on the eyes to read books on a backlt LCD screen such as the i.pad has. That's why e.ink readers like Kindle and others have taken off. People who buy the i.pad for reading books are going to be very disappointed, if they don't go blind first. If they'd had a pixel qi screen and a real keyboard instead of a virtual one, Apple would be in front of the crowd on this one, instead of a hundred miles behind it.

Like most other things the iPad has its advantages and disadvantages. It doesn't have flash capability, but it certainly is extremely useful in others. One I've seen on the news recently, it's being used in airports to direct passengers unfamiliar with amenities, directions, etc.

It seems that Apple does have the future in mind after all. I always thought that the only thing nice about iPads were the portability but if Apple can bring this to a higher level, then it would probably be a glimpse of what the future may hold.

It seems like everyone is talking about the productivity features of the ipad when it's really marketed as an entertainment device. http://www.searchhomesorlando.com
That's really were it belongs, amusement and recreation, even though you can be productive with the ipad. Though it can be productive, it's not very efficient for work tasks.
They're weaning us off the keyboard and mouse in baby steps. Somehow I can't seem to get used to this, but I know eventually it will happen.
