Excel Spreadsheet editing coming to iPhone

The rush to get everything unto the iPhone often makes me wonder whether some of these applications they are putting on it are even necessary or even useful.

I for one cannot imagine myself spending any lengthy amount of time editing spreadsheets on such a tiny screen with the onscreen keyboard.

If I want to edit a spreadsheet, I will use my macbook. If i need to read an ebook, I will use my iRex Iliad.

I'm just waiting for someone to write a coding IDE on the iPhone now =P

Once again, it kind of remind me of facebook apps. The early adopters made money, when everyone else saw that, the rush to the gold created many apps which are a poor fit for the platform/device (Usually big companies) as well as other apps which are just downright bad in quality/stupid(script kiddiez?). We'll see how this pan out =)
