Today Microsoft released iPhone and iPad versions of Outlook in the App Store. The native iOS app offers features that the mobile web version can’t, like incoming mail notifications.

Microsoft’s release notes:

IMPORTANT: You need to have the latest update of Office 365 for business to use this app. If you’re not sure about your account status, please contact your IT department before installing.

With OWA for iPhone you can:
Get work done faster with email
– Organize your email quickly with Conversation View, Mark as Junk, Flag, and Categories
– Quickly search or browse email in all folders including Outlook Favorites
Manage your schedule with ease
– Schedule meetings using attendee free/busy and room finder
– View shared calendars including delegate support
– Use your voice to look up a contact or bring up your schedule
Keep business data secure
– Remote wipe erases only your corporate data in OWA for iPhone and leaves your personal data on the device alone
– Separate passcode for OWA for iPhone provides an additional layer of security

The app looks very Windows 8ish for an iOS app, but I guess that is to be expected. OAW for iPhone and iPad is available now in the App Store.
