AppleInsider is reporting that Apple may be planning on introducing the next version of their iWork suite alongside the Mac App Store when it launches in early 2011.
People familiar with the matter say development of iWork ’11 wrapped up this fall and the software was initially slated for an introduction alongside iLife ’11 last month, but was held back at the last minute for undisclosed reasons.
Apple’s revised plans currently call for the company to launch the new productivity suite alongside the forthcoming Mac App Store, these same people say. The applications included in the bundle — Pages, Numbers and Keynote — will be available for purchase individually when the Mac App Store debuts.
The report also notes that Apple is still deciding weither they will offer iWork ’11 in a retail box, or if it will only be available on the Mac App Store.
Lastly, in Apple’s promotional material for the Mac App Store, they have shown each iWork application available for purchase individually at $19.99 a piece. This would make all three apps cheaper than the current $79 for the whole box set.
