Microsoft Office 365 Personal launches Posted: Microsoft has made Office 365 available for $69.99 per year, the company said in a blog post. The offering, Office 365 Personal, will also be available for $6.99 per month. The Office 365 Personal subscription allows for one PC, Mac, or tablet, to be connected to the service. Users will receive 27 GB of storage and 60 minutes of monthly worldwide Skype calling time. Multiple devices For families looking to connect multiple devices to the same subscription, Microsoft Office 365 Home enables up to five devices to be connected to one subscription for $99.99 per year or $9.99 per month. (TechRadar recently tipped readers off to a deal that enables purchasers to receive a one-year Office 365 Home subscription for only $67.15 and free shipping.) "By offering Office 365 Personal, in addition to Office 365 Home, we are better positioned to deliver the right Office to a broader range of households–whether it's an individual or a family of five," Microsoft said in its statement. Recent activity Microsoft recently made its online versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote available as Chrome Apps that can be launched from the browser's desktop-based App Launcher. The Redmond, Wash.-based company also launched Office for iPad last month. According to TechRadar's "Hands on" review of the application, the Office 365 features available on the iPad, "make sense, [and are] implemented in ways that work beautifully on the iPad." Microsoft previewed Office 365 Personal in March. Learn more about Office for iPad

Apple CarPlay headed to aftermarket cars via existing Pioneer receivers Posted: Apple has confirmed that its upcoming iPhone-powered CarPlay dashboard features won't be limited to brand new cars. Dashboard media receivers from Japanese electronics company Pioneer will begin supporting CarPlay beginning in early 2014 CarPlay support in these receivers will arrive in the form of a firmware update to Pioneer's existing line of 2014 NEX units, which range in price from $700 (about £420, AU$750) to $1,400 (about £840, AU$1,500). Pioneer announced the upcoming CarPlay support update via press release, and Apple later confirmed the news to The Verge. 'Siri, take the wheel' Apple CarPlay lets users control iPhone functions like media playback and navigation using Siri voice commands and touchscreens in their vehicles' dashboards. The system is dependent on having an iPhone 5, iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C physically tethered to it. Previous reports suggested that vehicle maker Mercedes-Benz was looking into aftermarket solutions for CarPlay support, but no one announced anything official until now. CarPlay is being included right off the production line in 2014 vehicles including the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Ferrari FF and Volvo XC90 SUV. Honda, Hyundai and Jaguar Land Rover are also expected to include CarPlay in new vehicles soon. Here's everything TechRadar knows about the iPhone 6
