We have seen how a few months ago, precisely in June,
Microsoft has released in the App Store a very limited version of Office 365
for the iPhone, but nothing optimized for iPad has been seen until now. During
an event in Florida ,
Gartner, Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer said that a specific version for the
Apple tablet is currently in the works.
Going down into the specifics of what was said, Ballmer has
warned that his company will not release an iPad version before finishing the
suite Office for Windows 8 Touch .
It is basically reiterated what was said by the head of the
team applications and services, Qi Lu, long ago, namely that the touch versions
of the Office suite are under construction, for both Windows and for all major
platforms touch.
If the approach had to be maintained with the iPhone
version, Office 365 will not be a true and complete productivity suite, as a
companion to combine the use of the master suite on the PC, resulting in line
with Microsoft's approach in theme applications when it comes to competing
devices, just remember Outlook app, where the version of the client for iOS
leaves much to be desired resulting incomplete at best and usable only in the presence
of subscription to Office 365.
