    Native Outlook Web App preview now out for some Android phones

    It's a good-looking app, but it won't run on many flagship phones.

    Last year, Microsoft released what the company paradoxically describes as a native client for Outlook Web App (OWA) for the iPhone and iPad. Now the company has released an Android version of the same app to the Google Play store.

    As with the iOS app, OWA for Android provides e-mail, calendaring, and contacts all in a Metro-styled application. The two apps are nearly identical in capability; you can search for locations for appointments using Bing Maps, e-mails that appear to be discussing a meeting can create the relevant calendar entries, and there's support for Microsoft's Information Rights Management content protection.

    The app also supports some amount of remote management; administrators can remotely wipe the app while leaving everything else on the phone untouched.

    The Android version has one feature not found in the iOS version. On Android, the OWA app can sync with the phone's built-in contacts list, and this syncing is bidirectional. If you update the contact using the phone's contact editor, those updates will be reflected in OWA.

    The pre-release app is, however, highly constrained. Just as with the iOS apps, it requires a business Office 365 subscription; neither Office 365 Personal nor Office 365 Home are supported, nor is Outlook.com mail. The app also requires Android 4.4 KitKat.

    Most limiting, however, are the hardware restrictions. OWA for Android only runs on phones. But not all phones: only those with screens that Android describes as "small" or "normal." Anything with a "large" screen (roughly 5 inches or bigger) isn't supported. This not only blocks the app from running on tablets but also blocks it from running on a wide range of flagship Android handsets, including LG's new G3 and HTC's One M8. Try to install it on an oversized device and you'll be told that it's not compatible.
