Michal Marek A trial web version of the iWork office suite is now available to all Apple ID users on the iCloud.com website. Until now, this interesting new feature introduced at this year's WWDC was only available to registered developers, but that is now changing and the beta version is now available to everyone. You don't need to have purchased iWork for iOS or OS X to use this web application, just an Internet connection and the aforementioned Apple ID.
The current development of the situation suggests that maybe even a sharp version of this software could be accessible for free, but nothing is confirmed yet. All that was officially said was that it would be available "later this year". It is possible that Apple only provided this beta version to the public for a limited time, so that it can find and catch flies even in full operation and under classic load. However, no announcement has been made yet to make the trial available to the public, so we can only guess how things really stand.
To try the web version of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, open iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. You will see three new icons labeled beta.

Weird, I'm not a developer, but I've been playing with it since the beginning. Likewise, Find My iPhone works for me after the update without the "you are not a developer" error message. Well, strange. :-)
Apple also opened a beta of web iwork for some non-developer accounts. They sent info by email to invited accounts.
Cool! I personally don't use iWork yet - so I'm glad I can try it this way and possibly buy it.
Apple's pricing policy is rather strange to me now. Why did she release web-based iWork for everyone for free? Loses profit from buying iwork for mac. After all, most people will use this simple package on the web.
With iOS 7, iWork may also come to tablets for free. But I don't quite understand why everyone has it now :-) I rather think that Apple will entice everyone to try it and when it's the final, they will release it only to those who have bought iWork.
I don't think that Apple would charge for iWork for iCloud, competing solutions from MS and Google are also free, even though MS sells Office packages (and significantly more expensive than iWork). I think that for most people these services will only be an add-on, for such quick editing of a document on a foreign PC. I definitely wouldn't write my bachelor's thesis on cloud-based iWork...
It looks good, but the presentation won't start if it's bigger than 100MB... too bad..
I think it's good. Both Google and MS have these online web applications for text editing and the like. I'm definitely in favor of it continuing to be free.
