Pages is a word processor and page layout application developed by Apple Computer and a part of the iWork productivity suite sold by Apple for dollar|US$" target="_blank" >*79 in North America (£55 GBP in United Kingdom, €79 in Ireland). Pages 1.0 was announced at the beginning of 2005 and started selling in February 2005. As with most of Apple's other recent software, Pages runs on Mac OS X only. Pages 2, part of iWork '06 was introduced at the 2006 MacWorld Expo.
History
Pages on Mac OS X is the successor of Apple's multipurpose office suite AppleWorks. The first rumors of a new Apple word processor to replace AppleWorks circulated the Internet through Mac rumor websites in 2003, suggesting a new software package to be released by Apple called "iWorks" or "iWork". Many Mac users were expecting the new program (which rumor sites then claimed would be called "Documents") in 2004 after reading the rumors. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO finally announced iWork '05 along with iLife '05 at the beginning of 2005.
There was a program of the same name made for NeXT computers by Pages Software, Inc., including similar WYSIWYG page layout features as Pages for Mac OS X. Since Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, this has led to suggestions that these programs are based on the same codebase. Apple has not commented on this issue. However, since Pages Software's NeXTSTEP assets seem to have been acquired by a Chicago-based IT solutions company, this speculation appears to be unfounded. It is known that Pages for OS X was developed by the same team that developed Keynote 2, a presentation program included in iWork.
