Office is a massive app to port over. MS has enough trouble with porting Office to cocoa to make it a real native app (Office 2010). I think their time to port office to a niche platform is unlikely for now. I'm amazed they could port iWork over (Steve wanted to view his presentations on them probably). Could see some creative apps ported that allow finger drawing. IWork might be a small suite code wise but its still alot compared to an iPhone app

My question is whether there will any localisation for Ireland- can we access ebooks for Irish readers, will we see native apps for the print media here like the national papers or the irish magazines. We cannot buy TV Programs nor films nor Video rental from the iTunes store Ireland. Will we see Irish textbooks on offer here. There are definitely some good markets - vertical -like Doctors carrying these around, perhaps Lawyers in court instead of tomes of paper, heavy technical manuals (Boeing and Airbus will buy at least one to test), architects (when there is work again) for drawings on site (tablets never caught on). Marketing Surveys. Will we see RTE iPlayer ported?
Finally who will offer good data plans as 02 and vodafone are robbing us blind.
