Microsoft to Unveil Office For iPad on March 27?

Microsoft is set to finally unveil its Office Suite for iPad on March 27 at a media event, according to a new report from The Verge. Sources familiar with the matter claim that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will reveal the suite, which includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at a media event in San Francisco on March 27.

Microsoft released the Office Suite for iPhone last year, which required an Office 365 subscription for editing, and sources claim that the iPad version will require the subscription as well.

Microsoft has been working on the software for a number of months now, having first introduced an iOS version of Office for the iPhone in June last year. We understand the iPad variant of Office will be similar to the iPhone version, and will require an Office 365 subscription for editing.
