Google Docs Goes Mobile

It seems there's no stopping Google from turning everything online into mobile apps. Adding to Gmail Mobile, Google Maps, Mobile Search and Mobile Calendar is the mobile version of Google Docs.

However, it is still a work in progress for it is not yet fully compatible with average handsets. According to its Mobile Help Center page, it only supports iPhone and Blackberry mobile devices. Unfortunately, only iPhone can browse presentations at this time.

Since Google has not tested Google Docs in different mobile phones, it implies that your phone must have at least the advanced browsing capabilities similar with iPhone and Blackberry, if you want to use this new mobile service.

Based on my limited testing of mobile Google Docs, I don't recommend using this new service for now. I've experienced many glitches in loading spreadsheets and editing word processor documents. Knowing Google's passion on simplicity and functionality, I'm confident things will be a lot better in the coming days. We just need to wait for a while.
