Microsoft Launches Outlook For Android and iOS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday January 29, 2015 @06:33PM from the check-it-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes Microsoft today launched Outlook for Android and iOS. The former is available (in preview) for download now on Google Play and the latter will arrive on Apple's App Store later today. The pitch is simple: Outlook will let you manage your work and personal email on your phone and tablet as efficiently as you do on your computer. The app also offers calendar features, attachment integration (with OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and iCloud), along with customizable swipes and actions so you can tailor it to how you specifically use email.

"I'm a Linux user ... I don't use Windows so why should I *or anyone else* care?"
Anyone else?
Christ, did you read what you just wrote? Most people, by far, are not Linux users. You don't care, fine, it's not for you.
Many, many people use office and would also like to use it on their iPad and Android tablets. For them this is good news.

Why anyone would want to let corporate tendrils into one's personal phone is hard, very hard, to fathom.
