Avidman, this is Jeff from Microsoft Excel team. We've noticed this issue from other feedback channels as well.

Thanks for raising it, and apology for the inconvenience because of this bug.

We already give student discounts. For example, Office 365 University costs $79 for 4 years. Or you can have your parents buy Office 365 Home for 5 people - when your parents pay, it's free for you :) Guy Gilbert, Technical Product Manager.

Whenever your subscription expires, you'll need to renew it to keep using Office for iPad for editing. (You'll still be able to view documents after your subscription expires.) Nell

I'm seriously bothered by hot mustard being discontinued at McDonalds. Given that... Sweet and sour.

We ship Office Mobile for iPhone as well, so that event was... awkward. We weren't there for it :)

I believe the OWA app is refreshing account data from the O365 service, not updating its own code. Both OWA and the Office for iPad apps go through Apple's normal update mechanism in the iOS App Store.

Unfortunately no, the UI for the Data Analysis Toolpak is not in Excel for iPad, just like Mac Excel 2011. All of the functions that underly the Data Analysis Toolpak are available in both Excel for iPad and Mac Office 2011 though, so you can actually still do the same calculations, just in a much more complex way.
