Microsoft Office coming to iPad someday


Tom Warren for the The Verge:

Speaking at a Gartner event in Florida today, Ballmer said "iPad will be picked up when... there's a touch first user interface." That touch first interface appears to be making its way to the Windows version of Office first, with the iPad edition to follow afterwards. Ballmer noted the touch first interface is "in progress."


OK... Does the iPhone version not have a touch interface? When Microsoft is at its best it releases software people want to buy. It seems here they're prioritizing their own tiny platform for leverage over the much larger and lucrative iOS market.
