Have there been more rumors on MS offering a Office Suite for the iPad?
Hoping now that the 3 is here, they would do this!

I think I understand that, but I want excel on my device not through connecting to another computer.
My university blocks the ports that OnLive uses. Very unfortunate.
This is ON your device technically.
I honestly thought we would see something after the iPad (3rd Generation) was announced.
We know that 58 million iPads where sold by the end of 2011. So by now we have to be between 65 and 70 million. We should know the actual number in a few weeks when Apple announces it quarterly numbers.
If even 20% of the iPad market purchased Office for iPad you are looking at 13 to 14 million customers. That seems like a very large opportunity left on the table by the Office team.
The politics at Microsoft may prevent them from coming to iOS. But Microsoft at it's heart is a software company and I would think in time we will see Office on the iPad.
And I really don't believe it is a hardware issue. Look at the iLife and iWork suites from Apple, the iPad can run advanced software.
Doesn't matter how useful the apps are really, it's just a badge for corperate rollout!
