#2Kudos to Josh and the rest of the team.
This is something that can change the market in a positive way and hopefully help take iPads from being almost solely a device for consumption to a device used to spur creation and innovation as well

#3Looks great.
Would be nice to see a demo of its number-crunching capabilities, to judge whether it's innovative in that area as well.

#4Really impressive demonstration of re-thinking an unsexy technology that is so important to so many. A great example on how start ups can disrupt a giant like Microsoft by being bold and not giving a shit. Good luck Grid!

#5UI reminds me of MS Maestro. Any idea how much of it is patented by MS ?
Either way they would be a great acqui-hire target for MS

#6They have a demo video, here: http://grid.binarythumb.com/
Unfortunately, the sound mix is atrocious. Music is way too loud, one can barely hear the narration. It was so bad that I stopped viewing the video.

#7It seems like the focus is on casual usage (photos, videos, etc). Why not focus more on the business side (i.e. numbers)?

#8Great job guys. I've tried in vain to use google docs on my iPad when I was doing wedding planning. This is a killer app.

#9Maestro looks really interesting.
As an excel power user and fan of spreadsheet innovation in general, I always felt that an excel disruptor would probably look and feel more like a robust post-it note than a spreadsheet.

#10Seeing those big squares was startling (in a good way). It was like, of course! Why have tiny little horizontal cells on a tablet spreadsheet? And with calendar widget datatypes, images, iPhone data entry... Lots of clever happening here.
I didn't see any formulas though. Not even a sum. I wonder how that's going to be in Grid.
