Editing your Google Docs on the go

Cross posted on the Official Google Blog, Google Enterprise Blog and the Google Docs Blog

With Google Docs, we�re always trying to make you more productive�and part of that means making it possible for you to get things done from anywhere, at anytime. That�s why we�re excited that the new documents editor now supports editing on your mobile browser. We�re rolling this out over the next few days.

That means that...
  • You can work on that important memo...while on the bus or train to work.
  • If you�re behind on a group proposal, but really want to make it to the ball game tonight, your whole team can work on it from the bleacher seats.
  • You can take minute-by-minute notes at a concert so you�ll always remember the setlist. And your friends can jealously follow in real-time at home.
  • ...and the list goes on!
Take a look at this video to see mobile editing in action:



It�s easy to get started: visit docs.google.com in a browser on a supported device, and select the document you want to edit. Then, when you�re viewing it, press the Edit button to switch to the mobile editor.


In the next few days, we�re rolling this out to English-language users around the world on Android with Froyo (version 2.2) and on iOS devices (version 3.0+) including the iPad. We�ll be adding support for other languages soon. And as before, we also support editing of spreadsheets from your mobile device�s browser.

We hope you enjoy editing your documents on the go�especially when you�re at the game with a hot dog in your other hand.
