Microsoft plans to release its Outlook Web App for Android, nearly a year after the technology giant first released the free email and collaboration app for iOS users last July.



From The VAR Guy:

Microsoft wrote about the imminent release of OWA on its Office 365 blog, where Senior Product Marketing Manager Steve Chew outlined several of the major new features coming to Outlook, which originally were introduced at this week’s Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC) in Austin.

“For a billion people, the phone is already their first and only connected device. We know that nearly half of emails are now first seen on the phone. So it’s clear that phone is becoming the primary screen for communications,” said Chew on the Office 365 blog. “Our phone users will have great built-in support for Exchange via the default email app on all phones—plus they can also use the OWA app on iOS and now Android to get the latest features.”
