![]() Office on the iPad: Finally, a usable Web version.[ Office for the iPhone: A pathetically bad app. If Microsoft really believes it can sell Office 365 or the new Windows 8/Phone Metro UI by providing this kind of junkware to iOS users, Microsoft is doomed to die - fast. Given that you can just as easily get your Outlook/Exchange or Office 365 email from the native Apple Mail client, with its much richer capabilities (including S/MIME encryption for security-conscious enterprises), I can't think of a valid reason for Microsoft to deliver this fundamentally useless product. Ironically, you can add attachments if you use Outlook Web Access Webmail in Safari - but not in the OWA app itself. The Outlook Web Access client works only with Office 365 email accounts, meaning you need a business-level Office 365 subscription, and it offers very few capabilities: no file attachments (not even via Microsoft's own SkyDrive cloud service, for which there is an iOS app), no text formatting, no threading, no support for other email (regular Exchange is shut out as well). Microsoft's new OWA email clients for iPhone and for iPad really should be named WTF for iOS.
