Self-described finance geek, Rob Griffiths has written up a first look at Numbers, the new spreadsheet app in iWork ‘08. From www.macworld.com:

Like Pages when it first debuted, Numbers really changes the paradigm for spreadsheet work. For decades, every spreadsheet program has been basically identical: you get a grid of rows and columns on screen, and you place your numbers and text inside those cells. Over time, we gained the ability to store multiple sheets of these grids within one workbook, and to use formulas to refer to items on one sheet from another. But at the end of the day, the basic work area in a spreadsheet application is a grid of cells… unless you’re using Numbers.
