Google Docs Goes Mobile

You think the browser and OS wars are exciting? Just check out what's going on in the world of online office apps. Granted the space isn't hyped as, say, Vista vs. Jaguar Ubuntu or IE vs. Firefox vs. Opera, but damned something exciting doesn't pop up, week in, week out.

Google is making their already terrific Docs and Spreadsheets that much better, by bringing it to the small screen, with Google Docs Mobile.

The app still suffers from some pretty key limitations, however. For one thing, users can only read docs--not edit them. Also, you can presently only use the service with a Blackberry or iPhone. If you want to open up a spreadsheet, you'll have to view it as an HTML document or download it as XLS.
