Microsoft releases office mobile for android smartphones
The company has launched Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint on iOS and Android tablets, but until now had only made a preview version of Office available to those with smartphones running Google’s mobile operating system.
Members of the Office Android community have tested the apps on 1,900 different smartphones, with their feedback used to influence the final release.

Like its iOS and Android tablet counterparts, the new apps allow users to read and edit documents, resume working on a file from the same point they left on a desktop, and make wireless presentations with PowerPoint.
However it is now keen to get Office in the hands of as many people as possible in a bid to sell more subscriptions to Office 365. It stresses that the best Office experience is only possible with a subscription, touting features like OneDrive storage.
