How well does Polaris Office work? I read about in last night in my January of Maclife and was thinking of downloading it so I could edit word and excel files from my iPad.

Not bad -- I've only really used the word processing functions. Though I have noticed formatting errors (spacing, tabs, etc) on some stuff that I've sent from work to finish at home. But that can be standard for any office to apple conversion program anyway. I bought Polaris as it was 3 programs in 1 that also allows iPhone and iPad download for the same price. I have MS Office for Mac that I am very happy with on the MB. If/when they ever come out with Office for iOS I would definitely buy that.
