Yes! Google Docs for Android has finally arrived and it’s looking feature packed. You can now access your G-Docs from anywhere and from any account, share items with contacts, upload docs from phone, open through Gmail, and even perform a variety of functions through a new widget.
The coolest feature though, is clearly Google Docs’ ability to take a photo of an image with text and turn it into an editable document. You can also turn photos with text that are already on your phone into editable documents that will appear in your list of files almost immediately.
Works on all Android 2.1+ phones. And yeah, it’s free.

Disappointing junk. Editing still takes place in the web browser (mobile mode = ugly and lobotomized UI), so there is no real benefit from this pseudo app. No Honeycomb interface either. If one does not need GDocs collaboration features, it makes more sense to buy one of commercial office suites out there.

ror messages: “this account can only accept converted files”
I love it! I especially like the integration with gmail, the offline document syncing / editing, and the integration with android.
Oh wait, this is just a glorified web app.
This glorified web app just crashed my Droid 2.

XOOM productivity, here we come.
Well, assuming it doesn’t crash seeing how its not optimized
epic and downloading now!
Mmm… I can’t delete docs though. Fail.
Good god its slow! Think I’ll stick with Dropbox
maybe if they keep this up I might come crawling back from dropbox 🙂
Would like to be able to print without having to keep a windoze PC running 24/7… or buying an HPoS printer… seems it would be easy to allow me to use the printer app I already have like mail/browser can now!
This could knock out evernote with some more polish.
One gripe with evernote is you can take a pic of a business card and it will OCR it so that you can search for it…. but that is it, it doesnt actually transcribe the details into text for you to do anything with it.
This DOES. However, you can’t simply click a telephone number or email address and it go to the appropriate app. THAT would be very nice.
The app is okay, some problems, but functional. The killer OCR feature is still pre-alpha at this stage though. It fails on even the most basic of text, and doesn’t even get close with more complex layouts. No doubt it’ll get better over time — not today though.
Does anyone know why, on both my Droid X and my Xoom, I can edit spreadsheets but not “docs” or “text” as they call them?
Looks fine on my Xoom. This may be useful and I’m certainly looking forward to what they do with it. Gonna test on the Tunda Bow and see what happens.
edit: Had to download to the Xoom via the market web interface. No problem, but just mentioning that it did not show up on the Xoom within the market app.
Nice! Downloading now! Oh, wait, I have no data connection on my ThunderBolt. Nevermind. :*(
i feel ya, I haven’t had data since about 8 this morning.
Where are you located by the way?
Washington DC. And life is a bitch right now without a functioning phone

To get 3G and 4G back right now.
Here is the fix to get 3G and 4G back up. http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/72724-problems-3g-data-dont-hard-reset-read-first.html
I found it by tapping on ‘view more applications’ from Google Search in the market.

The app can be accessed by clicking the “Market Link” in the article above. I’m not finding it with a title search in the market, either. I would think Google could do a better job of making its own app searchable. Is this meant to be some sort of “soft open” technique?
Don’t get too excited boys and girls. This is just a front end to the web interface. All the docs just open up in the same editor that you’d see from the browser. Its not even honeycomb optimized in any way either.
Yup pretty much crap
This is truth. The interface before it goes to the web part is super nice though. I have hope for the future…
I don’t like so-called apps that are nothing more than an interface to a website…
Not in the market for me. Hmm.
Not in mine either…..
It’s there, it’s just that the market search sucks the big one. Use the market link above. It’s just as impossible to find searching in the web-based market.
doesnt find it on direct link either (on my nook) does on OG Droid though.
Nor I
Hmm can find it on my OG droid running cyanogen, but not on my nook color running phiremod. Maybe they have tablets blocked out for this app on the market
me neither.. Project elite 5
Geeze FINALLY! =)
Freaking sweet. Its about time. Opened up Astro and found a .doc file. Long press, Send to, Docs, boom. Uploaded to Docs. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet.
Any news on Honeycomb functionality?
it works on the Honeycomb but is not optimized for honecomb in any meaningful way
Yea it works
About time… also known as AWESOME!
NIce….but no ability to upload and download ANY file is a major oversight…
YES!!!
Sweet! Hopefully this is a sign of things to come with IO – lots of cool Google stuff to download and use!
Finally! I was getting tired of their mobile web interface.
you’re gonna be a little disappointed then because this uses the same web interface.
You’re right. I was very disappointed.
awesome!
Yet not Honeycomb? Argh google!
I’ve got it on my Xoom right now. It’s definitely available for Honeycomb.
I haven’t tried it on my Xoom yet, but people were saying it wasnt an
optimized 3.0 experience… i could be wrong tho!
Sweet! This will come in handy! Thanks for the headsup!
