Oops. It appears that Apple may have let the cat out the bag a little early with an accidental email saying “Welcome to iCloud.” As reported by AppleInsider, Apple has allegedly sent out at least one public invite to iCloud prematurely.
iCloud and iOS 5 will be officially announced to the public this Tuesday, although both products have been in beta since Apple’s WWDC conference this past Summer. These email invites will assumedly be sent out in bulk to Apple customers when iCloud launches.
The email invites the customer to “follow these instructions and you’ll be up and running in no time,” but the actual instructions page on Apple’s website has yet to go up.
Let us know if you get one of these emails from Apple: [email protected]

No, Pages, Numbers and Keynote are on iOS. Â Subtle difference, to be sure, but iWork as a title is absent on iOS. Â It’s odd, I know, and I have no idea what it does but it, apparently, is ALSO coming to iOS:

Well sort of. Â
iWorks apps (but not the bundle) and the apps have something less than 100% functionality so far. Â
It would probably be more correct to say that there are ways of dealing with iWorks documents on iOS, even if the apps themselves haven’t been fully ported yet. Â
The apps are unlikely to be fully ported. They would be huge, especially when you consider support items like fonts etc.Â
the iWork apps and the iLife apps on iOS will probably always be about having the 20% top used features and for the rest you get a  Mac with the apps.Â
I think that’s documents, not iWork.
i think that this is jst another publicity stunt pulled by apple i mean seriously i get that apple is serious about launching its cloud storage service. as i read in this article that apple is all set and prepared for the service’s launch since Beta testers had their iTunes Match iCloud libraries reset while Apple also reset users iCloud backup data http://cloudtechsite.com/blogposts/apple-sends-icloud-invites-to-a-few.html
