Did you forget that they are not bundled and you actually have to pay for it? Office is built in for free with Surface.

  I was referring to the statement that "there are no decent office like apps available on the tablets" and the inference that "apple wants iPad to primarily be a consumption device". When did we start talking about bundling? EDIT: Oh, I see. When you said "no decent office like apps available on the tablets", I interpreted that as meaning that they weren't available at all, but you were saying you were frustrated with them not being bundled. Apologies for having misunderstood. It's still impossible for me to see that Apple "wants" the iPad to primarily be a consumption device — why would they? (They want to sell iPads! They don't care too much what you do with them.) And, if they did care, why would they make iWork? The iPad introduction keynote spent a lot of time showing each of the iWork apps off, very much casting the device as a productivity device (among other things, of course).
