  Apple Opens iWork for iCloud to Anyone

  

  A few weeks back Apple opened up iWork for iCloud to anyone using the iCloud beta website. That meant that you didn’t need to have either a Mac or iOS device signed in to Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. Now, Apple has taken that feature off of the beta website and pushed it to the normal iCloud site, allowing anyone to sign up for an Apple ID and use iWork right away. 

  To access iWork if you have ever downloaded it before or not, go to iCloud.com and click sign in. If you don’t have an account you can sign up for one there. Then click either Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. From there you can create and share your documents.

  Apple Sends Invitations for March 9 Media Event

  

  Apple has today sent out invitations for their upcoming March 9 media event. This invitation has a white Apple logo with different colored flowers in the background. At the bottom it says "Spring forward." Apple didn't provide an exact start time, but going with most media events, it will start at 10:00 A.M pacific time. This event is going to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. 

  Since this event is being held one day after day light savings and the title is talking about springing forward, some think that the event will focus on the Apple Watch. Right now we have no idea on what will be featured at the media event. Some rumors have been saying that Apple will launch a 12-inch MacBook Air with Retina Display.

  Pebble Announces New Watch

  As hinted by Pebble last week, they have today announced a new watch. This new watch is called the Pebble Time, and features a colored e-paper display, a new timeline interface, microphone for calls, and color options.

  Instead of going with the traditional interface found on the basic Pebble and Pebble Steel, this one has an all-new interface. You can scroll through your timeline and see what notifications you’ve got last.

  The watch isn’t currently available for purchase. Rather, it’s available for funding on Kickstarter and has raised over $5 million and collected over 26,000 backers. Right now you can pledge $179 to get one in your color of choice by May. Right now we don’t have any word from Pebble on how much it will retail for.
