Rumor: iWork for iPhone

Rumors have been circulating since July 7th when Pocket-lint broke the story of a possible iWork for iPhone, and now just today Mac Rumors is reporting another instance of an Apple flub.

A new discovery on Apple’s site again points to the possibility of iWork for iPhone. The mention comes on a number of Apple’s international online stores, including sites in Canada, the UK, and Australia. When ordering unlocked iPhones through Apple’s online stores in these countries, customers are presented with the option of adding AppleCare to their orders. Clicking the “Learn more” link for AppleCare on the ordering page reveals additional information on the program, with a section devoted to software support specifically mentioning “Using iWork for iPhone and other Apple-branded iPhone apps” as a topic users for which users can receive assistance.

I have to say that the iWork apps for the iPhone wouldn’t be a large surprise being that there is an iOS version on the iPad already. You can use the Apple bluetooth keyboards with the new iPhone 4 which would eliminate having to type on such a small keyboard, but who would want to. This brings back memories the palm.

Personally I think it would be welcomed addition to the iPhone app family especially if it were able to handle Microsoft Office files (which has always been a staple of the iWork brand).

I’m curious to hear your opinions. Let me know what you think.
