Caveat emptor, I guess, but I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected "Effortlessly sync your Pages documents between your devices" to have automatically included Pages on my main device, my Mac.
Exactly my thoughts, too. How reasonable is it to assume that persons would work on huge manuscripts on the iPhone? Which leaves the iPad. Maybe a family would have more than one iPad and even well-off people might have more than one, but normally a person will only have one. Thus, the effortless syncing would be between your iPad and your very same iPad. What's the use in that?
Any logical person would assume that "effortless syncing" and "take your documents with you" would indicate that the Macs are included. A MacBook is also a mobile device and my iMac is a device, too.
The more I think of this, the more I am ****** off by it. It borders to false advertising. I cannot remember any keynote or article where it has been explicitly stated that this effortless syncing would be limited to iOS-devices and that Macs would be left with some ridicolous and clumsy solution.
Well, the only way to let Apple know is to give them as much feedback as possible. And of course, one can hope that someone from Cupertino would read this. too.
Otherwise, iCloud works as promised, which goes to say smoothly and effortlessly. And if they want, I am sure that they will find a way to include iWork on Mac OS X-devices into this. They have proved earlier that if they really go for something, they manage.
