    There's also talk of the office suite coming to the iPad. It's a bit controversial last I heard as one columnist claimed that we'd see Office for iPad before long, then Microsoft denied that the claim was true, but the journalist retorted by saying that not only was it true, but that he'd been shown an iPad with the office suite running on it. No further news however.

    The iPad can't run Mac applications. MS are apparently working on an iPad version of Office, although they are currently denying it for some reason. Apple offer their own version of both applications called Pages and Numbers. And as above, there are other third party alternatives as well.
