Microsoft's Office comes for iPad, iPhone, and Android
is a reality. Although Office Mobile has been supposed and reportedly covered
in the wild, Microsoft has remained determinedly quiet about its plans for the
product. The Verge has well-read through several sources close to Microsoft's
plans that the company will launch Microsoft Office versions for Android and
iOS in early on 2013.
The company isn’t creation an iPad version, though, nor
is it offering the app on Android devices.
Microsoft Corporation is trying to make its $100-a-year
Office subscription more compelling, without removing an improvement that
tablet computers running Microsoft’s Windows system now have — the ability to
run popular Office programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Microsoft Office Mobile for iPhone is accessible free
through Apple's app store, but an Office 365 subscription is required to make
use of it. That subscription lets you use Office on up to five Mac and Windows
computers for the annual fee. A subscription can be more expensive than buying
the package complete for just one or two computers, but the iPhone version
won't be sold individually for those who resist the recurring fee.
Businesses rely on Microsoft Office. Consumers rely on
Microsoft Office. By offering Office Mobile for iPhone, Microsoft Corporation is
pulling the rug out from under its rivals. It’s also adding more value to
Office 365, and it’s ensuring that Office remains the de facto standard efficiency
suite—whether businesses and consumers select Windows or not.
