Does iWork come with the iPad / How much does iWork cost?

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding whether or not iWork is included as part of the purchase price of the iPad.

Although many people are under the impression that iWork comes pre-loaded on the Apple iPad, this is not the case.

The iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, and Number) will be sold individually in the AppStore for a price of $9.99 each.
