Just a fortnight after releasing Office Mobile for the iPhone, Microsoft has gone ahead and released a version of the app for Android smartphones. Similar to the iPhone version the app is currently only available for US users who subscribe to its Office 365 service. The app is like a stripped down version of Office on the desktop and allows users to access, view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on their smartphones or create Word and Excel docs (but not PowerPoint docs) from scratch on those handsets. Office 365 subscribers can use Office Mobile on up to 5 phones. Documents can be accessed from Microsoft’s cloud-based SkyDrive .
