The first report about Microsoft Office on the iPad came back in November last year when The Daily reported that Microsoft is working on an iOS version of its popular suite. Today The Daily confirms that the iPad version of Microsoft Office is almost ready and scheduled for release in the next few weeks.
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.
According to the report, users will be able to create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, locally and online.
