FYI new ios devices come with apple's free office productivity software now (pages, keynote, numbers). they announced that at the iphone event a few weeks ago.
but the airlines don't want the pilots using office software, that's not what these devices are for.
the reason many pilots prefer ipad, i would guess, is because of better/easier UI conventions for ios apps and possibly a better touch screen. that would actually be relevant in the flight related apps the devices are meant for.
- ericcumbee 13y agoHow good is the new Iworks on IOS. I played around with it once, and was not all that impressed. I have a Thinkpad tablet and having the real version of MS Office on a tablet that size is nice.
- DuskStar 13y agoNote that only the iPhone 5s and 5c will receive iWork for free - all of the older devices still require the purchase of those apps. "Older" includes all 4 iPads, as far as I know. As for better ui - I've heard very few complaints about Metro on a touchscreen. The biggest complaints I've heard are about using it with a mouse and keyboard, which isn't exactly the normal Surface 2 or iPad use case.
