Google Docs adds Spreadsheet editing from the iPhone


Google updated its Docs online document application to allow editing of spreadsheet by mobile devices. Previously, users could only view documents.

"Today, I'm happy to announce that we've made mobile access even better by adding new capabilities with List View for spreadsheets," said developer Eric Bogs. You can quickly view, edit, sort, and filter your spreadsheets on a variety of mobile devices including Android-powered devices like the T-Mobile G1, the iPhone and iPod touch, and the Nokia S60."

This adds a new level of mobile interaction for iPhone users. For example, users could better keep their budgets but adding expenses during the day. It can also serve as a great way to extend collaboration away from the desktop, such as in meetings or on the road.

Simple entry and manipulation seems pretty straight forward, but going deeper can be a little more cumbersome. Or at least more so than traditional mouse/keyboard work. Either way, a great tool for iPhone users.
