John Moltz on the rumored Office for iOS:

In the last 15 years, Microsoft Office has gone from a must-have product to largely irrelevant to the success of the biggest product category in technology: mobile computing. Derek Kessler believes that, by shipping Office for iOS, Microsoft could have furthered the impression that the suite is essential, but I think the shift is more fundamental

Microsoft let iOS and Android users become comfortable using mobile devices without Office for half of a decade. Jumping on board now would feel like a step backwards.
