The web-based office software, most famous for its ability to allow multiple users to edit documents in real time, will release an improved version of the site in the coming days to allow users on the iPhone, iPad, and Android phones to use the suite on the go. Google is also looking into expanding access to platforms such as Research in Motion's Blackberry.
While users have been able to access Google Docs on their phones for some time, this new iteration adds full-fledged editing capability, including the ability to collaborate in real time with other users. Just as on a desktop or laptop, text will magically appear on screen as others type; however, editing will be limited to documents and spreadsheets only.
To try out the new features, simply go to docs.google.com on a supported device. Following Google custom, the update will not be rolled out to all users at once; those who cannot access the new features should try again in the coming weeks.
Look after the break for a video from Google highlighting the new features.
