It Looks Like You're Trying to Use Word on an iPad

Guess which iPad app brought in the most revenue this Christmas? It wasn't Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja. It was Quickoffice, a productivity tool for viewing and editing Microsoft Office documents. Alan Masarek, Quickoffice's chief executive officer, shrugs off the success. He notes that the app was regularly among the topthree highest-grossing apps throughout 2011. "It's fun when you get to No. 1, but we're pretty used to it," he says. Almost two years after iPads started drawing oohs and aahs around conference room tables, demand for tabletready corporate software is taking off. After testing the waters in 2011, companies are expected to buy $10 billion worth of iPads this year and $16 billion in 2013, according to Forrester Research.
