Editing your Google Docs on the go
November 17, 2010
(Cross-posted on the
Google Docs Blog
,
Google Enterprise Blog
and the
Google Mobile 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.
