After previous leaks & rumors, Microsoft finally let their pride-and-joy out of its comfort zone and is now available on the iPhone. With the iOS version of Office, you can create new Excel + Word documents along with editing or viewing spreadsheets, docs, & PowerPoint files you have on Microsoft’s cloud services. The app brings you offline editing as well. There is one little detail you need to know about it – it requires an Office 365 subscription to use.
For those of you who don’t know, Office 365 will cost you $100 annually but doesn’t truly benefit you if you only have one PC. The subscription model makes more sense for a team or someone bouncing back-and-forth between 5 or more PCs. In it’s limited state, I’ll stick with Google Docs in the meantime for my cloud-based document needs. But if you do have a 365 subscription, you can grab it for you iPhone running iOS 6.1 or higher right now. The service is not yet ready for the iPad but is on the way.
