Outlook tops Gmail in the Apple App Store

If we were the type to write puns and jokes, we suppose this would be a good time to say that the outlook for Microsoft's new iOS app is looking up. Luckily, we're not that type (right). Yesterday, Microsoft Outlook was launched in the App Store and quickly has become a rousing success. The app will handle your emails, contacts list, calendar needs and your files.

Outlook is off to such a great start, that it has even overtaken Gmail in the latest App Store charts. It is the 15th top free app in the U.S., and Apple included it in its list of Best New Apps. The company also sent out a tweet to herald the app's appearance in the App Store.

Microsoft has put together a video showing the iOS Outlook app in action. Feel free to take a gander at it by clicking on the video that heads up this story.
