iwork for Mac & iOS

I dunno if this question has been asked but I'll ask it anyways.

I currently own a Macbook pro, ipad2 and iphone 4.

If I buy the iwork (pages numbers and keynote) from the app store for the mac, will I get free copies on my ios devices?

2nd question:

I also noticed that the family verion of iwork is 10 licenses for $99.

I plan on buying a mac mini for my wife/family. She currently owns an ipad 2 also. She will eventually get an iphone also.

Would it be cheaper and wiser just for the wife's mac mini to get its own license from the app store? (mine $30 + wife's $30 = $60 vs the family version for $99)

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 13" ver(Late 2011), Ipad2, iphone 4

You have to buy the Mac and iPhone version. Now, you can buy iWork apps in the Mac App Store for all your computers

Forget the family licencing, that is all past history.

Buy the iOS versions from the iTunes Stores and the Mac versions from the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID and then you are free to install them on as many devices/computers as share that ID.

The M.A.S. versions of Pages are only US$19.99 ea adding up to less than $60 and definitely cheaper than the Family licence.
