Actually, you are correct. After doing some tests to check it, I was able to use Numbers and Dropbox for two-way synch between the desktop and laptop, but I can only download Numbers files to the iPad through Dropbox. Once I get the file on the iPad, I can open it in Numbers and modify it, but I haven't found a way to get the modified file back into Dropbox. Perhaps someone out there has found a way I missed...

I don't use numbers, but I do use Documents 2 Go. I can sync back and forth via dropbox or google documents with no problems. I can open a dropbox file in docs 2 go, edit it, and save it back into dropbox so that the documents gets updated on my home PC too. I think you'll find that any spreadsheet app for iPad is pretty limited. Charts are not supported on Numbers or Docs 2 Go, macros are not supported and they only recognize about 100 simple functions. If you sync a complicated file with a lot of functions and charts onto your iPad most of the spreadsheet won't work.

The advantage with iAnnotate over Good reader is with iAnn you can open 3, 4 , 5 or so documents or manuals at a time and switch back and forth between them seamlessly... Good reader you have to open up a different one each time you want to look at a different document.
Both are great apps.
