Microsoft has released a version of its office
programme Office 365 designed to be used on smartphones with the Google
operating system Android.
The app was initially
available only for US users through the Google Play Store but is being
gradually activated in more countries.
The app
allows documents from Excel, Word and PowerPoint to be viewed on mobile
devices, edited in limited fashion and shared in the cloud service
SkyDrive. Those who subscribe to Office 365 can download the software
for free.
The Office app has been available for Apple iPhones for more than a month.
