Google Docs went mobile a little over a year ago, but only let you view the documents you had made on your desktop computer. Well, Google Docs Mobile has recieved a little bit of a feature upgrade,now allowing you to edit, sort and filter existing spreadsheets on S60, Android and the iPhone. This is a great option for small and medium businesses who need to fill out expense reports on the go, but don’t have the coinage for a catered mobile application. BlackBerry support is conspicuously absent. Humbug! Hit up m.google.com/docs on your mobile browser to have a go.

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.

    Don,t know about you, but here in th UK you can still only view documents on the mobile with that address. I have a Nokia e71 any thoughts on this?

    doh! Just realised you were talking spreadhees not documents. However, cant understand why google have not provided the editing functionality on mobiles for docs yet, as there are loads of other services which allow editing on mobile for notes docs etc. Its very inconvenient not to have the facility.

    I agree with Andy. I would love to be able to edit text-files and such on google docs from my phone.
