If you have been waiting for MS Office for your iPad, then look no further. Head over to Apple’s app store and down Cloudon app. The company Cloudon is not related to Microsoft in anyway, but has managed to produced an app that will let you create, edit, save MS World, Excel and Powerpoint files. You need to have a Dropbox account in order to be able to use the app as the app relies on the dropbox cloud service. Not sure if other cloud based services such as Microsoft Skydrive will be available in future releases.
I was able to download the app for free, but not sure if this will remain free for ever.
Here check out the pictures below.
“Don’t lose time switching devices. Use CloudOn to review Word documents, manipulate pivot tables in Excel, and show off your latest work in PowerPoint”
“Open, view and manage your files in the cloud using your Dropbox account.”
Pictures of app in action:
Strangely, I got an error the first time I tried creating a document. Not sure if this is due to the load on Cloudon or Dropbox servers.
