Finally, Microsoft Office Comes To Android, But For A Price


“The release of this app shows that we’re committed to keep providing additional value for Office 365 subscribers,” the company wrote in a blog post. “Office 365 subscribers will now be able to access, view, and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with Windows Phone, iPhone and Android phones.”

The product that was usually sold in a single purchase, but with this release, Microsoft is pushing subscriptions as a way to get customers to keep paying for a product. The company touts such benefits as the ability to run the package on multiple computers and get updates for free on a regular basis. Though the subscription is more expensive than buying the package outright for just one or two computers but subscription, the customers typically get to use the software on up to 10 devices. Five of them can be Windows or Mac computers or Windows tablets and other five can be iPhones or Android phones. However, Windows phones and tablets come with Office installed and do not count toward the limit.
