The Daily cites unnamed sources as saying that “that the app will soon be submitted to Apple for approval.” They even allegedly scored a hands-on with a working prototype of Office for iPad and found that the app’s user interface is similar to one used by the OneNote app, with a few sprinkles of Metro here and there.

The paper confirms “Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be created and edited locally and online”. There’s a bit of uncertainty regarding support for other Office apps.

Unluckily for Android users, the mobile version of Microsoft Office is iPad-only for now. If everything goes as planned, Office for Mac should hit the App Store in a week or two.
