@bazzacollins @guardiantech one flimsy assertion after another. No reason why ‘financial wizards’ won’t tap data into spreadsheets in bed.
Office on the iPad is a "product with no market" http://www.citeworld.com/tablets/22995/office-ipad-yawn … (Via @guardiantech)

@kennyhemphill At best, it's going to be a viewer that doesn't spoil your formatting. Nobody does serious work on an iPad. -
@bazzacollins oh Barry, not you too? I thought we’d dealt with that tired old trope years ago (or is my sarcasm radar failing me?) -
@kennyhemphill No, I'm deadly serious. Look on trains: people working are using laptops; people watching iPlayer are using iPads. -
@kennyhemphill iPad is fine for taking notes in meetings or replying to the odd email. It's impractical for anything more serious. -
@bazzacollins sorry, that's nonsense. Numbers is very usable on iPhone and iPad. I cld find you lots of people who use iPad for 'real' work. -
@kennyhemphill Usable for what? Who uses Numbers for work? -
@bazzacollins creating spreadsheets; adding data; creating charts; sharing all of above. See also, Keynote. - 8 more replies

@bazzacollins@guardiantech But in 2010 or maybe even 2011, it could have been colossal. MS trained people to realise they don’t need Office -
@CraigGrannell Sorry, mate, only just seen these. Just don't see that people who use power features of Office will use them on an iPad. -
@bazzacollins On power-user usage, I guess that also in part depends on UX and UI. -
@CraigGrannell I think Office, Word in particular, is vastly underrated by tech press. Head and shoulders above all other word processors. -
@bazzacollins I guess it depends what you’re doing, and on what platform. I grew to loathe the bloated, unMaclike OS X version. -
@CraigGrannell Yes, the Mac version is poor relation.

@bazzacollins@guardiantech I imagine it’ll still sell reasonably well, albeit to people who think they need it vs actually use it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@bazzacollins@guardiantech totally disagree. I'd pay up to 30 quid for it. Huge business win when they do itThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
