Microsoft’s launch of Office for iPad brought apps such as Word and PowerPoint to users across devices. The rollout included new Office features for iPhone and updated apps for iPad, and was soon followed by Office for Android.
The move signaled Microsoft’s growing focus on mobile devices. In his first public speech as CEO, Satya Nadella heralded “the magical coming together of the cloud and the mobile,” saying Microsoft is “absolutely committed to making our applications run … cross-platform.”
