Google Docs on mobile has moved relatively slowly, having launched three years ago, and the only significant addition since has been the ability to edit documents. Today they’ve got a pretty big new feature for the web service – now you can view previously uploaded PDFs, PowerPoints, .docs, and .docx files from an iPhone or Android handset. You can only edit the files if you convert them to the Google Docs format, but for particularly complicated documents, you may want to leave them native.
To give it a shot, go to docs.google.com in your iPhone or Android phone’s browser. It works on the iPad too, if you’re into that kind of thing.

About The Author
Simon Sage
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. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
