Apple has quietly rolled out a series of updates to its iWork.com beta. The updates add new sharing features, and changes to the interface to improve iPad and iPhone usability.

iWork.com on iPad

• Share documents on websites and social networks. iWork.com allows you to share a document by creating a public link. Use the link to share your document with large groups or on websites and social networks. There’s no need to set a password or send an invitation. Anyone with the public link can view your document but cannot add comments or notes.
• Improved Shared Documents page. Download documents shared on iWork.com without leaving the Shared Documents page. You can also track the number of views your publicly shared documents receive.
• Refined user interface. A redesigned Sign In and Shared Documents page for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch makes it easy to access your documents while on the go. The new interface and improved scrolling help you find your shared documents faster. Visit www.iwork.com from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to view your shared documents.

iWork.com was released as a public beta at Macworld ’09 and provides a method of sharing uploaded documents via the web. iWork.com allows commenting on documents and downloading in a multiple of formats such as PDF and Microsoft office formats.
