Development versions of the iPad Office suite is reportedly already at an advanced stage. If the information about the launch time prove to be true, it would mean that the Office for the iPad will appear before the Office for Windows 8 with custom touch controls. The leadership of the company led by Steve Ballmer reportedly gave the green light to launch an application for the iPad as soon as they are ready, regardless of the Windows 8 edition.

It is assumed that the Office for iPad will require a subscription to Office 365, and that OneDrive will be used for data storage.
