Finally.

/sarcasm.

I’m not too keen on work being able to follow me around.

“Unfortunately, the store has largely failed to deliver on that potential, as developers have shied away from full-featured, useful apps…”

I doubt that. Unless you were one of the original annointed ones, you’ve probably only had the SDK for a few months now. And “full-featured, useful apps” take time to develop.

Still early days yet.

That should be incredibly helpful. I can use that for punching in my mileage for the year. Way more convenient then writing it down, then transferring to the computer. I'm really happy I bought that phone! Jake NoteScribe: Premier Notes Software

WOW! One at a time crApple is adding features that my phone has had for YEARS! Revolutionary indeed (that’s sarcasm.. for anyone dumb enough to buy an iphone).

The lack of USEFUL business apps is my biggest complaint about the iPhone… seeing as that is the reason I bought it.

Still waiting for a worthwhile contact manager, as the stock “Contacts” app from Apple is complete and utter shite.

This is the difference between “May” and “Can”. Just because there is a new iPhone app, that does not mean that people can create a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets a largely a lost art and an artifact of a more elegant age of DIY application development. There are so few people that can create an operational spreadsheet with a full copy of MS Excel that this new iPhone functionality is almost entriely irrelvant. Lotus 123 changed my life and I miss it and the discipline of 1986. It’s these kids today, they wouldn’t know a spreadsheet if it bit ‘em.

I’ve been using spreadsheets on the iPhone for months, using editgrid.com . It’s a Web app, but very powerful and works well. Sometimes I think a Web app is better than native apps for a number of reasons.

Might want to hold off for now — there seem to be some issues with basic math functions. We’ll have a review up soon at http://148apps.com

Building feature-ful applications takes time. The iPhone SDK has been available for, what, 6 months? And it has been a confirmed success (in terms of attracting paying customers) for, what just over 2?

I think that given the short lead time the quality and breadth of apps in the App Store is amazing, and as long as Apple continues to punish spammy developer behavior it will likely get better. The biggest App Store change announced today that will likely lead to more feature-ful apps is that only users who pay for apps will be allowed to review them (so no more 1 star reviews from people whining about the “high” cost of an application, even if that cost may be worth it considering the features that you get for the money)

i think, all i iphone urgently needs are “useful apps”. Especially, apps to improve the phone-side.

I agree, that really is a glaring flaw. I’ve often viewed and edited spreadsheets on other devices, but never felt the need to create a spreadsheet on a mobile device.

Interesting that there was the same expectations on the Facebook Platform of Apps which would improve the user experience and be useful. Instead we got lots of spammy applications.

This application looks definitely useful. I wonder how it’ll be received comparatively.
