I read that iWork Online<\/a> is now out of beta and available to ALL at no cost. I admit I have not used the online version of iWork and seldom use the device based versions. I make the most use of Keynote, but use Google online tools for nearly all of my work.<\/p>\n

Apple has done a great job with these tools and now offer anyone the opportunity to use them at no cost (www.icloud.com<\/a>). As a heavy Apple user I almost feel bad and I have been trying to determine exactly why I have failed to use the services.<\/p>\n

Here is my defense:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Apple is late to the party, has a poor record with online services, and inertia probably plays a significant role in our technology use.<\/li>\n
  2. Google offers more free storage (I do have to figure out how to get rid of the photos I have somehow accidentally stored in the iCloud. I have other places to store my photos and I could free up more space for other uses of the iCloud).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why might someone with a different history use the Apple services and tools.\u00a0I am stretching things a bit here, but I can imagine a situation in which an individual uses Apple tools in one setting, but does not have access to Apple hardware in a different setting. Perhaps a student would find herself in this situation. This might be a reason to use Apple tools and the iCloud.<\/p>\n

    Don’t get me wrong. I think the Apple tools are well done and for someone starting out with storage in the cloud, it would certainly be worth taking a look.<\/p>\n
