Though this will have limited functionality on an iPhone sized display, I am thrilled to see it finally come. Making small adjustments to Numbers spreadsheets will really come in handy for me.

good question, my bet is no, but maybe that will be a feature of iCloud?

I am sure that there would be a way to do it right now using Dropbox

I think we can use iDisk, but you have to remember to save each time.

I think that will all be answered next week on June 6th with iCloud (if that is the name)

They are also universal.

I agree, this makes sense that it'd be a feature of iCloud. But iCloud is definitely the name - Apple announced it today when they announced Steve Jobs was gonna do the keynote.

I like Dropbox, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Apple will make it seamless, like mobileme, where everything syncs in seconds and silently... it MAY be even the "file system" that people want in iOS where we can store videos and photos and all sorts of files that apps can have access to with a simple "allow" popup on the first usage of the app. (like push, and location)... That IS a mighty big data centre after all, it's hard to assume it's ALL just for iTunes...
