We have seen Microsoft Office for iPhone, released last month leaving when we mentioned that their was no date told for a release of the Office for Android platform. Just like the release for iPhone last month, the Android version is also here quite silently. We are telling that Microsoft has released the Office Mobile for Android devices which is already available at Google Play store.
Note that just like Office for iPhone, the Android version is also not a free version. You need to have Office 365 subscription to use Office for Android. However you can start with the trial subscription of Office 365 for free first month.
Checkout the key features after the break. Or download the Office for Android from Google Play Store.
