Apple does this for a period of time so as to cause its customers grief. See, my theory says that Apple intentionally offers little or nothing on potentially hot features that are not considered mainstream - in this instance, the ability to seamlessly and easily sync, documents, photos, movies, etc. I have a theory about why Apple is putting its customers through so much pain, I call it the Feature Euphoria Theory. None of the iApps work with it, so it’s pretty useless unless I use non-Apple apps, like Documents-to-Go. I have iDisk available on my iMac, iPhone, and iPad, but I can’t use it to sync anything easily. It’s ridiculous that Apple hasn’t stepped up to this particular plate yet, especially since there are so many MobileMe users, including yours truly, who are paying US$99 a year for inferior service. Then I have to perform arcane rituals to sync my docs. That is until I need to get my document onto my iMac for editing and publishing. I enjoy Pages as a word processor because it fills my needs, which are pretty basic, without getting in the way.
I’ve been using Pages to write my articles on my iPad. Why don’t we have it? In fact, why don’t we have wireless everything syncing? Apple manages to sync my contacts, email, and even my browser bookmarks, so what is so hard about documents? There are some features, however, that Apple left off the iPad altogether that has me scratching my head and wondering why. Apple did a lot of things right on the iPad, but there are some things that could use improvement (making the screen more smudge-proof for instance).
