If Google recently [caught you off-guard](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/07/google-apps-discontinues-basic-package/) with its announcement that Google Apps would move to a $50 per user model, perhaps some free software will help restore balance to your world. Today, the company announced a free version of [Quickoffice](http://www.engadget.com/tag/quickoffice/) for the iPad, which is an exclusive perk for users of Google Apps for Business. The software suite allows users to view, edit and create Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, and as proof that integration isn't lost on Google, all files are stored to [Google Drive](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/google-drive-for-ios-hands-on/). For the moment, only iPad users will be treated to this free version of Quickoffice, but Google insists that iPhone and Android versions are on the way. If you'll recall, this is the same bit of software that Google [purchased earlier this year](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/google-acquires-quickoffice-expands-cloud-based-app-suit-for-en/). Nice to see it's being put to good use.
