You probably now about LyX already, but I found it to be a very solid wysiwyg editor able to spit out tables, images, and formulas in plain Latex.

Who does this sort of stuff on their iPhone really? Even when they want to demonstrate a nice feature of an app that was originally for Mac, they show it on an iPhone...
It's a shame that Mac is getting forgotten :(

It's also available in the Mac version of Pages.

Neat feature. I think I might get a lot of use out of it as a "lighter-weight" way to write up documents that include math, using the nice LaTeX syntax, while still keeping the document as a whole WYSIWYG (better for graphics and makes it easier to avoid going back afterward for a fixing-up step). Plus, I can edit from both my Mac and iPhone with automatic sync. (There are existing LaTeX apps for iOS that can do that too, but this seems to be a solid option.)
Edit2: Tried it out on iOS. Two limitations: equations can't wrap across lines, and inserting a new equation requires a few taps - not super cumbersome but enough to discourage a "fluent" style of frequently going in and out of math mode within a sentence. Still useful.
