Just wondering, cause I really want some new features in my keynote and stuff, I'm sick of the iWork 09, does anybody has any information?:confused:

Seeing as how Apple just updated iWork '09 with the release of Lion it probably won't be in '11.
 
Apple no longer puts a year in the iWork name, so I wouldn't be surprised if they just kept doing free incremental updates at least through next year.
 
Hey, OP, I don't think they will call it '11 or '12 anymore. Take a look at the Mac App Store.
Keynote is 5.1, Pages is 4.1, and Numbers is 2.1 (version-wise.) They will probably release updates separately if necessary in the future.
 
If your sick of iWork09 get Mac Office 2011.

I'm seriously thinking about getting Office. Since installing Lion, Pages does not open, in spite of my trying every solution mentioned in every forum.
If Apple doesn't put out something new pretty soon, I'm gonna have to go over to the dark side.
 
Sorry if off-topic, but I'm wondering if Apple's going to charge full price for new versions of the iWork apps (as they used to), or if there will be some upgrade pricing if you've already had it installed through the App Store.
 
Will iWork become an iCloud app only?

Just puzzling this one over. I don't know why Apple shouldn't do that. That way iWork could be updated continuously, like any other Apple software such as Mail or iCal.

This is after the (fairly major) update for Lion. I wouldn't expect a new version any time soon after such a major upgrade.

I don't think cloud-only iWork (or other apps) will ever be a good idea - the majority of Apple's devices are mobile (iPhone, iPad, MacBooks), and when you're mobile, your internet connection is far from an assured thing. It would effectively be crippling your device and its utility if the only way you could use it would be predicated by a connection to the internet.
