New Office For Maс To Arrive Next Spring, Office For iOS Will Not Launch Until Fall 2014

ZDNet has shared a roadmap received from a source who says it is a timetable for Microsoft’s plans for iOS and Mac versions of Office.

According to the roadmap, a new version of Microsoft Office for Mac will be released in April next year, while the long rumored Office for Android and iOS will arrive in October 2014.

“I do not know how old this purported roadmap is, but my contact indicated it was likely current as of the start of 2013. I asked Microsoft Office officials for comment on the alleged roadmap, but they declined to do so”.

The report from past December suggested that Microsoft and Apple were in negotiations on revenue split as part of Office 365 subscription service launched in January. Apple insisted on the standard 70/30 revenue split applied to every developer according to its developer license agreement.

Microsoft itself has leaked a number of references to Excel for iPad, PowerPoint for iPad and Office Mobile for iPhone, making it clear that Microsoft is indeed working on iOS versions of its programs.
