More Hints of iWork Coming to iPhone?

Before the iPhone 4 debut, Apple showcased the new iOS 4 operating system with it’s vast amount of new features for both the consumer and the developer. One of the many features that were mentioned was the ability to open attachments from Mail in third-party applications, such as Omnigraph.

Many have debated that the graphic was a mistake while others say that it allowed a peak at what Apple is planning to do with the software.

Apple’s site has showcased more looks into the future for the productivity suite in some description texts in their international online store. With the purchase of a unlocked iPhones on Apple’s Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia online stores, user are given the option to add AppleCare to their product. In the incentive, Apple provides description of what the protection plan offers. Within the text, Apple mentions support for people who need help with “iWork for iPhone”

While this information is indeed intriguing, it wouldn’t be such a shock being that Apple has already developed the software suite for use on the iPad. Many have speculated that iWork coming to iPhone would be quite a hefty challenge with the iPhone’s screen being smaller than it’s cousin device. not much information was gathered from this discovery, though, it does strengthen indication that iWork is coming to the iPhone (and the iPod touch being that both iDevices run all the same apps). We will keep you posted on this development as more information presents itself.
