Tables, a new spreadsheet for Mac OS X

Need a spreadsheet for your Mac? Check out Tables. I've only used it for a few minutes so this is far from a full review. I will say that Tables seems to be a very nice looking application though at first glance it seems to be a basic spreadsheet application. As an example, I don't see any way to create charts with the data in the sheet. Another example, while I can add graphics I cannot create a text box.

Tables is currently in beta and for sale at the end of August, no price listed on the site. For those that don't want to use Excel this may do the trick. At the moment I rarely need a spreadsheet and when I do my needs are usually simple. I'll certainly give this one a try and will see what happens between now and the end of the beta. Good to see a new spreadsheet application for Mac users!

Of course it has been rumored for a while that Apple will be adding a spreadsheet to iWork so if you use Pages and Keynote and plan to update to the new version you might want to save your money for the moment.
