Microsoft Office Heading To The iPad
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer shed some light on Office for iPad at a Gartner-sponsored event in Florida on Tuesday. The soon-to-retire CEO claims the iPad will get a version of Microsoft Office… eventually. According to the The Verge, Apple’s iPad would see a version of Office when its ready, elaborating that the “iPad will be picked up when there’s a touch-first user interface.” Ballmer shared no exact release date on the actual product but said “it is in the works.”
Apple To Release A 13″ iPad Notebook?
Remember when the Wall Street Journal said Apple was testing larger versions of both the iPhone and iPad? It now looks as if the 13-inch iPad may be one step closer to reality. According to Ben A. Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays Capital, this larger iPad could be more of a laptop rather than a tablet. He claims the design of the 13-inch model would be similar to many Windows 8 Hybrid (convertibles) options. This basically means you would have detachable screen with some type of click in keyboard. Once the unit is put together, it can then be folded as a laptop. Perhaps Apple has been waiting to release the “iPadBook” all along.
