Microsoft Office Coming to iPad, iPhone and ... - World News Resource

Rumor has it that along with the already expected iPad release later this year, Microsoft Office is currently under development for tablet running Google Android.

According to industry sources claiming familiarity with Microsoft, a target date in November has already been earmarked for the arrival of both versions of the world?s leading office suite.

The news comes following leaked information from an employee, claiming to have seen an iPad running the upcoming version of Microsoft Office ? a build said to identically match previously leaked images which were stringently denied by Microsoft.

What?s more, the source in question also revealed that the Office app indicates when loading that it is ?Office for iOS? as opposed to Office for iPad, which in turn could mean that the software will be compatible with the upcoming iPhone 5.

If true, the release of Microsoft Office for a range of iOS devices including the iPhone 5 could add a further string to Apple?s bow in terms of securing the as yet largely untapped corporate market.

One of the key selling-points a string of Windows 8 tablets are expected to feature later this year is full and seamless integration with current desktop workstations and laptops across the business world. While Apple has long provided an incredible ecosystem for those using iOS devices exclusively, the launch of Microsoft Office could lead to greater compatibility and ease of multiple device management like never before.

Of course, Microsoft has so far remained tight-lipped on the subject and Apple is as always unavailable for comment.

Expectations are growing by the day that the iPhone 5 release date could be announced at the upcoming 2012 WWDC in San Francisco, where it may share the spotlight with a truly market-shattering iPad Mini.

Apple?s projections for 2012 are already as bright as can be and the availability of a fully-functional MS Office app would certainly serve as a rather delightful cherry on top of their ever-growing cake.
