I had hoped that Docs.com might be an alternative to Pages and Numbers (which seem a bit limited on the iPad, especially if you want to share documents with a PC) but no, it turns out Microsoft has inadvertently built an iPad killer; "load our site" they snigger "and we'll kill your iPad". Maybe version 2.0 will be better, but until then, or until iWork can share files without requiring iTunes, I'll stick with plain text in Evernote (www.evernote.com) or email and do the formatting on a PC.

Microsoft Docs - iPad Killer?
It's not supposed to be, of course. Docs.com (http://docs.com) is Microsoft's answer to Google Docs but with the added advantage of compatibility with Office. On a PC it probably works really well (don't know, haven't tried because Office makes it redundant) but in Safari on my iPad it doesn't. And I don't mean that a couple of features don't work quite as they should, I mean that Docs.com crashes Safari so hard that it completely stops working and the only way to recover is to close the browser and follow a link to another site from within another application.
