Here’s How Apple Plans to Shed Some EXTRA WEIGHT

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is slowly shedding services it does not consider to be enough of a value-add. The company, which got rid of MobileMe tools in the past few weeks, is now warning users that it is in the process of killing iWork.com. iWork is a cloud service Apple launched in 2009 to allow for online editing, downloads, and collaborations for documents. It had stayed in beta since its launch. Apple is now transferring all those actions to its iCloud platform.

“Remember, as of July 31, 2012, you will no longer be able to access your documents on the iWork.com site or view them on the web,” Apple wrote in an email to iWork.com users. “We recommend that you sign in to iWork.com before July 31, 2012, and download all your documents to your computer. Moving forward, you can use iCloud to store your documents and make them available across your computer and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.”
