I can't decide between Documents 2 Go and Quickoffice. Bot are rather expensive so I'd like to make an informed choice.

Who is using what and what are your opinions?
 
Surely Apple's own, Pages, Numbers & Keynote are very reasonably priced and able to handle the requirements?
This with the build-in Contacts, Calendarl and Mail is enough for me.
 
So you pay $10 bucks eack for Apples own apps when you can spend $16 on documents 2 Go and get word, excel and powerpoint? You obviously earn far too much money...

Also, all the reviews I have read say that the Apple apps are CRAP in comparison to the alternatives!
 
The difference in price is not much but you will be happier with apples office software. At least that's what I think. I'd only go for pages and numbers on the iPad although I'm not even using it on the mbp. and you can get each for 10usd and buy one after another.
 
Numbers is terrible imo. Its such a pain to add text and move around the cells.
Doesnt work very well with the keyboard either.
 
Listen to the people above because I have no clue. I am not using any because I have got NOTHING to do and am just bored day in day out. Lol. Had to get that out somewhere.
 
i have documents 2 go and find it rather cool to sync with my documents on my mac, the only drawback is i need to manually sync :/

But otherwise i prefer documents 2 go, though i am considering keynote to present presentations (have not had the need yet, but if i do i have all the adaptors etc)
 
Spend 5k+ on an iPad - then can't decide on $10 or $16 for an app because it's too expensive? WTF :wtf:.

Edit: And, no I don't have one.

So just because you have money you should waste it on crap apps? :rolleyes:
 
I use a combination of quickoffice hd and pages/numbers depending on the task. Quick office pretty much has the ms office suite covered though and works pretty well.
 
Another vote for Quickoffice, but thats only because I live by/on Dropbox

Thought this was about actually USING the Apps, not just reading about it?
 
Numbers works fine for me. Didn't buy Keynote or Pages yet. Will get them when I have a use for them.
 
Wonder how long MS will take to release an iOS version of MS Office.
