I really enjoy using the new iWork 08 office suite from Apple, and have been thinking about how it can be improved, as unlike Microsoft Office it is missing some useful features.
One of the features I think Apple should consider building in to future version of iWork is an organization tool, along the same lines of Entourage, but accessing the same data as Mail, iCal and Address Book, and including Mobile Me and iSync tools as well, as I feel that not having a program in the suite that can compete with Entourage / Outlook is a mistake as it might put corporate users off using the suite, as many users like to use an all in one e-mail / calendar / contact program.
Another useful addition would be including the database program Bento in a joint package, so that perhaps for an extra £20 you get iWork and Bento, as I think that Bento would be a useful addition to iWork and provide it with useful database functions.
All in all I think Apple have produced a great office suite at a great price (£55) and I hope that future is bright for iWork
