Microsoft Office for iPad to Debut After Touch Version for Windows

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer revealed that the company will bring Office to the iPad with touch user interface following its launch on Windows, reports The Verge.


Speaking at a Gartner event in Florida today, Ballmer said "iPad will be picked up when there's a touch first user interface." That touch first interface appears to be making its way to the Windows version of Office first, with the iPad edition to follow afterwards. Ballmer noted the touch first interface is "in progress." Microsoft has previously released an Office version for iPhone without support for the iPad, noting at the time that tablet users could make use of Office Web Apps in the browser instead.
