    Maybe it's another one, but there certainly IS such a service. Licensing is an issue but I don't see it's different to how Amazon manage licensing when you can rent a Windows node for a few minutes at a time.

    I read the android play description and it sounds like just another office document editor and not the proper MS office.

    It depends if this is going to be a full blown excel or a cut down version. If it's not got VBA etc per the 2008 mac versions then I may as well stick with Numbers on the iPad which is a perfectly adequate spreadsheet app on the move.

    There are more fully-blown iPad office type apps so I think it's MS' decision, not any kind of blocking by Apple... Apple sell hardware so if MS can make the iPad popular amongst Windows users, that's only good for Apple.

    I know there are plenty of note taking apps but OneNote is by far the best. Especially when combined with their desktop counter parts.
    I know there was talk back in Feb that someone had a hands on with Office for iPad but can't see it coming off as it could be key to Redmond's tablet as a USP

    I assume this is gearing up for Windows 8 et al, but do you think its MS or APPLE that is keeping Office off the iPad? Until they become a content creation tool rather than just a device for consumption I won't be splashing out on a tablet any time soon, but I assume that all will be changing with Windows 8 tablets
