Microsoft launched the official version of Outlook for iOS and the preview version of Outlook for Android on January 29th. These new Outlook apps support email services such as Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, and Gmail.

Microsoft intends to replace the Outlook Web App for iOS and Android with the Outlook.com app for Android, but it won't do it right away. The Outlook Web App and Outlook.com apps will continue to be available in their respective app stores for the next few months. However, Microsoft plans to discontinue the Outlook Web App and Outlook.com app for iOS and Android by the summer of 2015, company officials said.

On the 29th, Microsoft announced the official release of "Microsoft Office" for "Android" tablets, which had been previewed so far.
