Pages on iPad is an extremely powerful and beautifully designed word processing application. In fact, I think it is the most powerful word processor ever developed on a mobile application. It has been developed by Apple, which probably tells you more about it than I can. Aside from the usual humdrum of text formatting tools such as bold, italic, underline, font, color, size, alignment, etc, it also has functions such as text wrapping around images, image mask and beautiful graphs and charts which you'd be hard pressed to find on any other application, both mobile or desktop based. Adding images is as easy as tapping and there are various new ways to present your image. For example, there are new borders, shadows, alignment tools, and more. Adding charts, graphs and shapes has never been easier or for that matter, more fun. When it comes to design, no one can replace Apple. And the same stands true for the Pages application on iPad. With the simple and intuitive touchscreen, it's much easier to design beatiful documents on Pages than on Word. To me, this app is just as powerful and easy to use if not more than the Mac version of it. In fact I find it so good that I usually make my word documents on the iPad itself. After using an Application as beatiful and powerful on this on a Device that is equally so, the applications on a desktop seem bland.
