Well, you've certainly convinced me to buy Pages, Numbers, and Keynote soon. Nice that they're available separately at Apple App Store instead of having to buy iWork as a whole.

Re Dropbox, again maybe I'm old fashioned, but even with paying extra to Dropbox to sync my personal files to their servers if I had more than 5GB (or whatever their free limit now is), I'd also want my own local backup of entire internal storage including OS, Apps, and personal files on external disk. And I think if I bothered with a backup/sync service I'd use SugarSync to sync with devices, unless Dropbox has improved device syncing lately. Edit: Oops, then there's iCloud too, which might be better for a Mac & iPad & iPhone user.
