A few months ago I told you that it was an iOS version of the Office suite is about to be launched, but at that time it was not known when it would be available in the App Store. Although nothing has been heard about this application since then, now we have information new because the iOS version of this application would be launched in November in the App Store. The application would offer users the opportunity to read, edit and create documents that can normally be accessed with Office suites for Mac and Windows, so we are talking about a rather complex functionality.
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.
The application was designed to work on the iPad tablet, but an iPhone version will also be available, but the functionality will probably not be as great, considering the small screen size. At the moment there are many applications that allow us to read, edit or create documents from iDevices and it remains to be seen what Microsoft will come up with.
