in-between thing: microsoft office app for ipad

Last night, a mere day after writing up Mobile Thing #6,  I learned that Microsoft is releasing a version of Office for the iPad, which was confirmed this morning: Microsoft to Offer Office for iPad, Maybe a Bit Late. At first I was relieved that I wouldn't have to see if CloudOn fixes its problems. What better to play with Office than Office itself? Then I saw the catch: read all the documents you want for free, but if you want to make any, you'll have to subscribe to Office 365: $100/year.

You know how I said I'd given up on accessing Office documents on my iPad? You can still consider it given up.
