As announced at the keynote, Apple is releasing along the iPad a completely redesigned line of iPad versions of its iWork office suite apps.

Well, you'll be glad to hear that Apple has already approved and released these into the App Store and they're now waiting for you to download them this weekend.

Here is Apple's Numbers full description and screenshots:

Numbers, the powerful spreadsheet application made for the Mac, has been completely redesigned for iPad. Tap the bright Multi-Touch display to create compelling, great-looking spreadsheets in minutes. With over 250 easy-to-use functions, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and eye-catching charts, all the answers are at your fingertips.

Numbers has everything you need to organize data, perform calculations, and manage lists. And you can do it all with just a few taps. Start with one of the beautiful Apple-designed templates and add your own tables and charts. Use predefined styles for tables, charts, images, and text to customize the look of your spreadsheet.

With a quick swipe, you can even see your data as a chart. When your spreadsheet is complete, show your work right on your iPad in full-screen view.
