Without any signals, Microsoft launched the iOS version of the Office suite. This time is Office Mobile, users need to have Office 365 subscription account before you can use its services.
Whether the Office is landing on iOS has been the focus of all the news and sources in the past few months. For Microsoft, abandon iOS versions of Office will lose a large number of users and profits, and also they will give a chance for Google Docs, Quickoffice and other newcomer competitors to develop. However, Office Suite as Windows 8/Windows RT tablet's core strengths, let Office landing iOS system might give a negative impact to the strategy of Microsoft for keeping Office as their own enterprise software strength.
Earlier rumors show that iOS version of the Office suite will be released in 2014, we seem to have never heard of Microsoft's upcoming iOS version of Office Mobile news. Office Mobile is preloaded with Windows Phone office applications, the function slightly less than the official version, for example, can not be opened .Doc file (can be opened. Docx) and so on. For Microsoft, launched iOS version of Office Mobile is a tricky strategy. First, Windows 8 tablet retains the core competitiveness of the iPad; Second, it can suppress the development of Google Docs, Quickoffice development, it seems that the only negative side is affecting the sales of Windows Phone.
Mainland China Apple ID can not download Office Mobile from the App Store, and the iOS version of Office Mobile must need to have Office 365 subscription account, which is consistent with Microsoft's flagship Office subscribe-to-pay market strategy.
Microsoft said, iOS version of Office Mobile has been optimized for the iPhone, our review will be released later.
