Microsoft Office may be out for iPad, but it’s still not compatible with the Nexus 7

Last week we announced that Microsoft was officially releasing Office for Apple’s iPad and shortly thereafter went hands-on to show you what to expect if you’re an iOS user.

Microsoft Office for iPad finally launching tomorrow?

A few weeks back, we started seeing new motion in an otherwise long-dormant story: the release of Microsoft Office for Apple’s iPad.
