Apple just released what can only be called a significant update to each of its iWork apps: Keynote, Numbers and Pages."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1285246658.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>The big update (among the many updates to each product) is the exporting capability to MobileMe iDisk or WebDAV services. For Keynote [<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=VoxLcfp5Si4&subid=&offerid=177776.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keynote/id361285480?mt=8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>], you can now export presentations using the PowerPoint format, group and ungroup objects and they have also added support for audio in builds when importing Keynote '09 presentations. For Numbers [<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=VoxLcfp5Si4&subid=&offerid=177776.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numbers/id361304891?mt=8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>], the highlights are exporting in Excel format (.XLS) and opening CSV files from Mail and other apps. And last but not least, in Pages [<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=VoxLcfp5Si4&subid=&offerid=177776.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>], you can now display the word count for your document, open .txt files from Mail and import/export Pages '09 tables with image background fills in cells among other things. All in all a great set of updates from Apple, but the exporting to MobileMe/WebDAV sealed the deal for me. </p>
