Satya Nadella will host his first press event as Microsoft CEO on March 27. The software giant has invited journalists to a special cloud and mobile focused event in San Francisco. Experts say App for iPad was ready to go and was just awaiting a release date from Nadella. Observers speculate that it can be announced at the press conference.

Nadella is likely to concentrate his first ever public appearance on the larger theme of “cloud first, mobile first” while introducing the new suite for iPad. Microsoft is working on Office for iPad for quite some time, say industry insiders.

The company, on Monday, also announced new pricing for “Office 365 Personal” - $6.99 per month for one computer and one tablet, which paves the way for a new lower cost entry point for Office for iPad.

     

It is not clear how Microsoft would charge the Suite. The Suite for the iPad may include only Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. It is expected to be downloaded from the Apple Store but most likely to require a Micrososoft Office 365 subscription, similar to the way Office Mobile for iPhone works.
