Cool, TUAW posted my tip :)
I'm going to download this as soon as I get home from work; hopefully I won't have to buy Office 2008 now.

Can I be the first to predict that Numbers '09 will allow the tables to be completely multidimensional, with a cool rotating cube UI?
(For those with short memories, Jobs was one of the big supporters of Lotus Improv back in the day, which was originally developed on the NeXT Cube)

Anyone else notice the typo? How it says "Let's check to see if it's on YOU hard drive" instead of "on YOUR hard drive"
...

Don't get too excited. I am downloading the trial and I only have 7 more hours to go!

Did anyone else catch the typo? Shame, Apple!

"Champing" at the bit!

maybe when it says 'on you hard drive' they meant 'on you, hard drive' implying the hard drive, not the user.

Thanks for the hint! Have been looking for a trial version shortly after the announcement, but haven't found one.

I agree with Sam above. Component personification is the way to the future.

"Take Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for a spin before you plunk down your hard earned cash for it. Now, if only Apple would do the same for iLife '08."
Thanks for the note. I've ordered it but this way I can start (even if not -everything- is in there) playing ... ahem ... working with it.

Numbers is a total POS. Great for doing your family budget, worthless for business use. No error bars = complete letdown. Really Apple, is it that hard? I think there's freeware stuff that can do that much.

I'm still disappointed that Pages doesn't have a good resume template. There were three resume templates, but none all that great. So I exported Pages into a Word doc, loaded it into Office 2004, and got a lot of "mergetable" junk messing stuff up. Honestly... how am I supposed to switch to Pages if I can't rely on it to export to what most businesses use?

Hey folks,
Accuracy, please.
The expression is "champing at the bit".

Darn'it. Downloaded the stuff and love it but I can't buy anything over here in Europe yet. Not even a serial through Apple's webstore - that's in the US only and I can't pay with a European creditcard. Now that's a bummer - after 30 days I have to wait another month before it hits the stores sometime in October over here...

Ok, now it works and I can order online through the apple store. Maybe a cookie got in the way? Still no serial only though but I can't really be bothered by that.
Anyone knows if these products are multilingual? I've got OS X installed in English and don't want any French applications on it as I'm Dutch (and well, just to complicate matters, we'll be moving to god knows where in another year or so).

Been using iWork since I became a "switcher" with the 1G Mini. The page layout capabilities are what I always wanted above and beyond basic WP. Most of the more demanding Photoshopped pieces I insert in whatever blog-post I''m constructing are made easier by Pages.
Been waiting for '08 to upgrade. The trial gives me a chance to get into it before my new copy arrives.

Numbers appears to be everything I could have wanted in a spreadsheet app. I (formerly) used Excel at work to create business forms.
