So, this application will only be supported with android 4.0+ and this application can’t be downloaded by users outside the US. What is the special feature of this application ? What is the difference between this application with android keyboard ? So, this keyboard had extended numpad, different with the common android keyboard. When you are using the common android keyboard you will noticed that if you want to input number, you will have to change your symbols pad to the number pad, but with this microsoft’s keyboard you don’t need to do that anymore because the numpad is fused with the symbols pad. You can also use this application for many applications, not only excel.

Before this, the Microsoft Garage project behind the Keyboard for Excel application had launched two other lock-screen applications called the Next Lock Screen and Picturesque Lock Screen for Android devices. The Picturesque Lock Screen application was launched earlier this month and the Next Lock Screen was launched in January. The highlight of the Picturesque Lock Screen app is that it can change images with just a shake of the phone or by swiping to the right. Both apps -the Next Lock Screen and Picturesque Lock Screen – allow users to access missed call notifications, text messages and also the search function directly from the lock screen without unlocking the phone, a stock feature found only in Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher devices. –source
