Microsoft will release shortly an improved version of Microsoft Office Suite for Apple's iPad
A few months ago, Microsoft announced their intentions of creating a Microsoft Office Suite version for Apple's iPad tablet.
Today, thanks to an exclusive hands-on from The Daily we can have a look at it.
They said that the interface is pretty similar to the one spotted in the already available OneNote app but with Metro hints. Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents can be created and edited locally in the App but no word about other Microsoft filetypes supported.
The App status was almost final and its release is expected in the coming weeks.
According to The Daily:
Back in November, The Daily initially uncovered the existence of an iPad version of the Microsoft Office Suite. Sources now say that the app will soon be submitted to Apple for approval.
A brief hands-on with a working prototype of the software revealed a number of new things. The app’s user interface is similar to the current OneNote app, but it has hints of Metro, the new design language that can be seen in Windows Phone and in the as-yet-released Windows 8 desktop operating system.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be created and edited locally and online. But it’s unclear if Microsoft will support other Office apps at launch or at all.
Sources close to the matter also commented that an Android version of Office is not in the works, and that an updated OneNote iOS app will also be released to reflect the Metro design language.
An exact launch date is unknown, but the design team has since wrapped up the project, meaning it could be released in the coming weeks.
