AppleInsider<\/a> quotes Steven Baker, NPD’s V.P. of industry analysis, saying “These have been, I think, pretty successful products for them (Apple), generating a lot of pretty decent average selling prices and decent revenue numbers.”<\/p>\n I really like the iWork apps. My last book was mostly written on Pages<\/a>, then sent off to the publisher as an RTF formatted file. Keynote<\/a> is very powerful, and doesn’t have the tired old look of PowerPoint<\/a>. <\/p>\n Apple is apparently working<\/a> on moving a good deal of iWork to the cloud, and Microsoft is taking the same path with Office. <\/p>\n [via AppleInsider<\/a>]<\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>iWork a quiet hit with sales up 50% this year<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:00:00 EST.

While no one was looking, the Apple iWork<\/a> suite jumped 50% in sales this year over 2008 levels. The retail sales analysts at the NPD Group<\/a> say much of the current popularity of the program stem from the sales of Snow Leopard, which bundled the productivity apps for U.S. $169.00 for a single-user version and $229.00 for a family set.<\/p>\n<\/h6>\n
