QuickOffice Connect Mobile Suite. For Word, Excel and Power Point, you can create, edit & share files.
My number 1 favourite iPad App.

On the word processing side, the article "Word Processors on iPad for Lawyers: MS Word Compatibility Shootout" [Word Processors on iPad for Lawyers: MS Word Compatibility Shootout | Tablet Legal] from July 2010 lists 4 apps (prices and product offerings may have changed):
iPadWordProcessor.com [http://ipadwordprocessor.com/] currently provides information about:
- Pages – $9.99 (Apple)
- Office 2 HD – $7.99 (Byte 2) (Tablet Legal review)
- Documents to Go Premium – $14.99 (DataViz)
- QuickOffice Connect Mobile Suite for iPad – $9.99 (QuickOffice, Inc.)
Hope this helps. I am going to be reviewing these products over the next few days to make my own decision (I've ordered an iPad that will arrive this week).
- Apple's iWork Pages
- Office˛ HD
- Quick Office
- Documents To Go
- Google Docs
- iA Writer.

I'm familiar with Docs to Go since I have an Android phone and it works very well in Droid. Don't see why it wouldn't work well in IPAD.
DocsToGo works great on the iPad. The Premium version even connects and syncs to a number of different cloud services.
None of the apps mentioned are much good at creating Excel-compatible files.
Only if you expect them to perform advanced functions of Excel. I use Docs to Go all the time at work to work on group projects. However, no advanced recalculating or pivot tables or things like that... For just editing and viewing standard Excel files, they work fine.
Just a tip, chowdown - try quantifying broad statements like that, as it stands, it is very misleading.
