Google Docs Introduces Mobile Version

October 17, 2007 — 06:24 AM PDT — by Adam OstrowShare This

While speculation continues over the “GPhone” and when a device with Google’s rumored mobile operating system will arrive, one thing is clear: Google is making a ton of announcements in the wireless space. The latest is a mobile version of Google Docs that just went live, featuring a display of your documents and spreadsheets optimized for mobile screens.

Google Docs Mobile presents a list of your documents, and allows you to open them on your handheld. However, the new Google Presentations are not yet available for mobile viewing. Meanwhile, Spreadsheets are displayed in HTML format or can be downloaded as an Excel file. There are also simple navigation options, such as viewing all of your starred items or your various folders.

For the moment, all of this wireless goodness is “read-only” and doesn’t allow you to edit your docs, but it’s another highly visible move for Google as it pieces together its mobile operating system. Other recent announcements from Google in the mobile space include the acquisitions of Jaiku and Zingku, a mobile version of AdSense, and an new release of Gmail Mobile.

To access Google Docs Mobile, point your wireless browser to: http://docs.google.com/m
