Google Docs Goes Mobile!

Google Docs users now have a great reason to rejoice. Google Docs is now available in a mobile friendly format at http://docs.google.com/m. They’ve stripped down Google Docs and managed to fit everything they could, so that it can tidily appear in our cell phone display. Google Blogoscoped had found several traces of the mobile version being developed some two months ago.

At the very top of the page, you’ll notice a search box, which can be used to search all your documents, spreadsheet and presentations easily. Next, you’ll see a list of recent documents. Clicking on your recent documents opens it for viewing. Documents opens up as a text page, while spreadsheets can either be viewed in HTML format or downloaded in XLS format.

Google’s Mobile Help Center mentions that only iPhone and Blackberry are supported, but they go on and say that “We haven’t tested it across all mobile devices, a good rule of thumb is that the more advanced your phone’s browsing capabilities, the more seamlessly Google Docs will work”. Cell phones featuring rich-browser support should be able to open documents and spreadsheet. However, Presentations can only be viewed with an iPhone.

Finally, we can view our Google Docs while on the move. It would have been awesome, if the mobile version of Google Docs featured a rich text editor for editing as well.

  • But several people hate ads and let us see whether google succeeds...There is already an ad supported free service introduced in U.K...probably google is closely watching their progress...
  • Hmm...more is expected to go mobile....
  • Google is trying really hard to invade the mobile phone market. I mean, they're even developing an Operating System for mobiles. Actually I wish they made the hardware too. Nokia sucks with web apps. So, not much use to me :(.
  • With Adsense Mobile, Docs on Mobile, Gmail Mobile and everything else... It seems google has really shifted its focus to the mobile phone. They even plan to have a free calling on phones with ad support... That would b a great thing to do!!
