Word is that Office Mobile will first
come to iOS and will be in the form of individual apps that will allow
the opening and viewing of documents only. For any kind of editing
capabilities, an Office 365 subscription
would be required and this subscription will be an in-app purchase.
Just like SkyDrive and OneNote, the Office Apps would require a
Microsoft ID to login and use them, allowing all information to be
available across various devices thanks to the Cloud.
The big reveal comes thanks to Petr
Bobek, Microsoft Product Manager who spoke at an event in Czeck Republic
recently, revealing that Office Mobile for iOS and Android was in
development and slated for a March 2013 release.
