Microsoft Considering Office for iPhone?
By Ed Oswald | Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 8:50 am
Microsoft Business Division president Stephen Elop raised hopes for a version of Office for iPhones during a talk at the Web 2.0 Expo. He says the company has took notice of the rise in demand among smartphone users to edit MS Office documents. When asked however directly if it meant the company was indeed developing a Office suite for iPhone, Elop deferred. “Not yet—keep watching,” he said.
Elop stressed that the company remains committed to Office on the web and mobile devices, and said that it continues work on a Web version of the suite. He did disclose that any beta of that product would not be this year.

There are so many possibilities here ranging from an actual iPhone app, to Office 14 Web sites being optimized for the iPhone, to the Silverlight run time. Silverlight 3 apps will be able to run outside of the browser on Mac OS X, so the multi-targeting wouldn’t be too difficult if Microsoft decided to go that route. Who says that they will do just one?
