Although Office will remain the star, Microsoft is determined to continue gaining ground in the App Store and the apple tablet is also going to benefit from this, with a few good news regarding apps that we will be able to enjoy in it already optimized, starting because starting today among them will be his personal assistant: you can now use Cortana en iPad also.
The Cortana app is finally optimized for iPad
Although compared to Android tablets in iPad we have many more optimized apps for this format, there are still a few of the more popular ones that remain on the "to do" list. Today we can at least cross one off the list, since as they warn us in Thurrott, Microsoft has finally released the tablet version of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), of his popular personal assistant.
The version for iPhone has been available for a long time and if you are familiar with it, you will not have much problem adapting to the corresponding one for iPad, because at the moment no notable difference has been detected, beyond the adaptation in terms of design to a bigger screen. It seems, therefore, that we are going to have all the features that it gives us on our smartphones.
Users who have been with the longest iOS They probably won't feel much of a need to change, but for those who have switched to iPad recently and are used to working with Windows (or that still alternate between the tablet and the PC), it can be appreciated having the apps with which they are most familiar available. In any case, it never hurts to do a little test.
Edge is on the way too
We take this opportunity to remind you that Cortana It is not the only app of Microsoft what were we waiting for iPad and of which there is also good news, because your browser was also launched a few months ago in the App Store, but it also came just for iPhone, which was a major disappointment because browsers do have a leading role on tablets.
Fortunately, in this case, it looks like we're not going to have to wait that long to be able to at least give Edge en iPad, because through neowin we discovered last week that the browser Microsoft is on its way: according to the latest news from Redmond, they are already working on the version for the apple tablet and a beta would arrive in the month of in February.
It was also specified that the launch of the beta would take place at the beginning of the month and the equator is not too far away, so that it will probably be a matter of days and we will not have to wait much longer to see if it has been added or not some extra function for iPad. And if the experience with the iPhone version is any reference, it will be a matter of a couple of months at the most from that first beta until its official launch.
