Apple has opened access to its Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps at iCloud.com to all, even those without an Apple device (via TechCrunch). Earlier this month Apple opened the apps to those without an Apple device while offering 1GB of free storage (an iCloud account with an Apple device has free access to 5GB). However, previously access to the apps for those without an Apple device was limited to the iCloud beta site at beta.icloud.com where Apple frequently tests new iCloud features before launching them to the primary site. Today they move to the main site at iCloud.com.
While the apps themselves remain in beta mode, they are now accessible to all through iCloud on the web.
Apple has a new FAQ with all the details regarding web-access to iCloud and the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps on its website.

Waiting on the updated version of Office for Mac. Hate iWork. should have never let the folks at the Apple store talk me into buying it a couple of years ago.
There most likely not going to come out with a new office, because there making more $$ with Office 365.
Office 365 isn’t a version of the software, its the name of the Microsoft subscription that buys you use of Office 2013 on a PC, and Office 2011 on a Mac, as well as Office for iOS.
Microsoft is still going to release a new iteration of Office for Mac, they have already given a preview with updated versions of Outlook for Mac and OneNote for Mac.
I still use Excel on a daily basis on my work Macbook Pro, as it does lots of data processing tasks that Numbers simply doesn’t match.
I also have to work with lots of other people’s PowerPoint presentations which, no matter how much Apple says it is, are not 100% format compatible with Keynote.
Yes Reed that is true but the question remains will the new versions be a subscription based system or a pay once and the software is yours systems. I myself have no interest in having to pay for subscription based service in order to have Office. In that case I will stick with the Older version of Office or completely move to iWork permanently as I currently use it for a good deal of personal stuff but continue to use Office for Work, even though they are moving more and more to Scroogle Docs, which I will not use unless I have too..
Honestly, it’s a mixed bag; iWork is capable of creating high quality graphic documents, but there’s a HIGH learning curve. I posit that curve is so steep because most of us are so used to the Office Suite. But there are definitely some things that Office offers that iWork does not. If I had a ton of time to kill, I’d try to learn how to use iWork effectively. But I don’t, so I won’t.
Come on, HIGH, Really???? If you can use Office, which is far more complicated that iWork, than you should be able to figure out iWork. iWork is by far the simplest out of all the systems out there. IMO
Nice.
