14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft’s iOS development team in charge with porting Office to the iPad is apparently done with the project and, according to one report, they’re prepping the binary for submission to the App Store.
The Daily cites unnamed sources as saying that “that the app will soon be submitted to Apple for approval.”
They even allegedly scored a hands-on with a working prototype of Office for iPad and found that the app’s user interface is similar to one used by the OneNote app, with a few sprinkles of Metro here and there.
“Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be created and edited locally and online,” the paper confirms. There’s a bit of uncertainty regarding support for other Office apps.
Unfortunately for Android users, the mobile version of Microsoft Office is iPad-only for now. If everything goes as planned, Office for Mac should hit the App Store in a week or two.
