MS Office suite for Apple's popular tablet iPad has finally ended. Newly appointed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in his first press conference announced launching Office for iPad, which includes Word, PowerPoint and Excel. The Office suite is already available for download via the App Store. In the meanwhile, Microsoft has also made its Office Mobile for iPhone and Android phones free.
With the free versions of the apps,
users can read Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. Microsoft says the
documents will look as good as they do on desktop, or even better on the
iPad.
While highlighting need for mobile cloud and related tools, Nadella in a lengthy blog post
says: “We’ve offered Office on the Mac for more than 20 years. Taking
the next step and making it available for iPad users too is another way
Office delivers on its promise to give anyone the power to make things,
and make things happen, any moment of the day.”
With Office 365 subscription, users can install Office for iPad apps on
up to 5 tablets as well as 5 copies across Office for your PCs and Macs.
