Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announces that Office for iPad, consisting of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is finally released. The Apps can view Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents for free. Each App weighs in at over 200 MB.
“To create and edit, an Office 365 subscription is needed.”
The Microsoft Office Apps offer In-App Purchase of Office 365 Home Annual Subscription for $99. Assuming the 70-30 split is still in place, Apple is getting $29.70 for each subscription made through the App.
Office 365 Home Subscription includes:
Microsoft should have released Office for iPad sooner. Quickoffice and iWork Apps (Keynote, Numbers and Pages) are fully capable of replacing Microsoft Office.
Apple announces new iLife and iWork Apps for OS X and iOS during the October 2013 Special Event.
Well, it’s time of the Apple event again. There will be numbers of sites providing live coverage from the event. Who knows if Apple would provide live stream just like the September Music Event.
As usual, links will be listed below as they are made available.
I wonder if gdgt got an invitation to the event or they might have gone Gizmodo way after Ryan Block’s “glassgate” article. By the way the terms “glassgate” and “antennaegate” are pretty stupid. They are named after the “Watergate” scandal which is the name of the Hotel where it happened. It was never noun-gate naming convention.
Apple is set to offer sneak peek on its upcoming version of Mac OS codenamed “Lion” on its “Back to the Mac” event this coming Wednesday October 20th, 2010. In addition to what Apple has hinted on its invitations, many speculates that a new MacBook Air will be introduced at the event. Supposed leaked pictures of the upcoming MacBook Air have surfaced. Another products up for refresh are iLife and iWork suites. Apple is likely to introduced iLife ’11 and iWork ’11 at the event. iLife ’11 is likely to feature a never before bundled application to the suite. iWork ’11 is likely to feature the same application bundle with numbers of new features included.
Many also wonders if Apple would refresh the MacBook Pro lines. According to an source within Apple who shall remain anonymous, there will be no real upgrade to the MacBook Pro lines. The 13-inch MacBook Pro might gain Core i5 at best, while its 15-inch and 17-inch counterparts remain virtually the same. Apple is likely to update MacBook Pro lines in early 2011 with Intel’s Sandy Bridge CPU.
We will find out more about the event starting 10:00 AM Cupertino Time on Wednesday October 20th, 2010. Stay tuned for live coverage links and possibly a live stream from Apple.
