A while back there was some discussion about Office for the iPad (way before it was available). Since then Microsoft has made parts of Office available, and there is Apple's iWorks suite, and several other Office applications. For the purpose of this thread I'm ignoring viewers, what I want to talk about is exactly what to people use to create documents on the iPad?
I write a lot of short stories, and I use Pages myself. It works well with Pages on my Mac, and also LibreOffice - I've found that Pages has some issues when producing .DOC and .DOCX files, which is what a lot of editors prefer, so I use LibreOffice for that, but Pages for all of my writing. It comes down to a matter of taste - I find that working in Pages is easier, and faster than writing in LibreOffice. I don't use Microsoft Office because it messed me up one too many times, and I value my productivity (but that was over ten years ago, so I have no idea what the current version of Office is like).
I don't touch spreadsheets or presentations, don't need to, so I can't comment on Apple's spreadsheet and presentation software for the iPad.
So what do you use, and why?
