CloudOn Brings Free Cloud-Hosted Microsoft Office Functionality to iPad

[Dr McKay]

But if you bought the same thing from the App Store it would be great, right?

Not if it was released by Microsoft

FYI - it is back in the iTunes store. I just downloaded it.

Back on the App Store

They just sent me an email notification that stated: "We are please to let you know that the CloudOn Workspace is now available for download in the US iPad App Store!"
It is, and I downloaded it.

 

[I WAS the one]

I downloaded it.. try it. and erased it. I'm very uses to Pages. but is cool that PC people can actually use their iPads as a well companion.

Considering it's the desktop version of Office running on your iPad, you kinda need those function keys.

So how is that dumb?

Because the keys are labeled things like "F1" and "F2" which is a hold-over from the days when keys couldn't change their labels dynamically. They ought to be labeled things like "Help" which are meaningful and useful.
