iWork Pages Ported to iPhone

[nickhesson]

By now I'm sure you've heard of iWork from Apple. When the iPad was released, Apple released iWork Apps, such as Pages, as iPad only apps. Pages is an easy to use type program similar to Word. Yes, the screenshot above is messy, but its work in progress, and it's great news for the modding community.

Until now, this app was only available for the iPad, but with a little bit of hacking, some Plist modifications and some patience, the app has now been ported to the iPhone by Steve Troughton-Smith. While all this testing has been done on an iPhone 4, stroughtonsmith has put some hard work into porting the app, and he believes that it will be fully iOS 4 compatible.

At this point, things don't quite fit, but thats understandable, knowing this App was originally intended for the iPad and it's higher resolution. It has been noted though that Apple may possibly release an official version for the iPhone 4 and iOS 4, but until then, stroughtonsmith has brought something unique to the iPhone users.

If you want to stay up to date with stroughtonsmith's work, follow him on twitter.

Hm...I don't know if "ported" to iPhone is the right way to describe it. I would use something more like "threw up onto" iPhone.

But seriously, this is impressive. Don't know why in a market that already has quite a few Office doc editors for iPhone that Apple wouldn't want to scale their own down.

Oh, and how the hell did he get a hacked app (or hacking ANYTHING, for that matter) onto an iPhone 4?

Lol, totally agree. I have no idea why Apple hasn't already made an iPhone version. Maybe they will now..


I'd also like to know how he got it onto the iPhone 4 lol

this is going to be pretty useless. the notes app was good for keeping track of logins, and short stuff like that. but serious word processing on a 3.5 inch screen?

no thanks

Lolcats1, if someone needs to that cannot type on that screen, there's always that bluetooth keyboard connectivity thing

[Masterz1337]

I believe he used a developer account to get his own software on.

im not a fan of typing on a 3.5 inch screen.

Nice, hopefully the rest of iWork for iPad is soon to follow

Shweetness. So anyone think anytime there will be a non-dfu mode jailbreak? My iPod's power button is broken...

try iFixit.com or something like that and do some reading, that power button is probably fixable.

Drag an icon on to the top of another icon. Only works in iOS4.0 though.

Has iMovie been ported to 3GS? Because that's in the folder as well...

At least then your thumbs can hit all the letters -- I've found that trying to type on the ipad is slow and unnatural. Touch typing is out of the question, and obviously two-finger hunting and pecking leaevs no hands free to hold the stupid thing, so it *has* to be setting on a table or in your lap. I'm not a fan of that option.

SB's had the jailbreak for a day or two now. Just follow him on twitter and you can put the pieces together with the bits of info and pics he shares.
