I'd like to think the conclusion is that Office-style work actually isn't that necessary most of the time. I'm sure there are jobs where some of the capabilities are required, or where there's a bunch of important VBA code lurking in a spreadsheet somewhere. But it seems a lot of people use Excel because they have a simple list to keep track of, or Office because it's easy to drag a bunch of pictures in, or Powerpoint because it's how one makes Powerpoints, where in many cases a simpler tool would work. I should admit that I do not use my iPhone for productive work, except reading, because the tools I use, Latex, Bibdesk, Processing and Python, are not available on the phone, will never be, and would be ill-suited to it in any case.
