Spreadsheets on your phone… Useful or not?
13 Feb, 2009 | Written by Anton | under Technology
It appears that Google Docs now work on the iPhone and on their own Google Android operating system, which sounds fantastic and cool. Try it here m.google.com/docs
I do question though whether this is just innovation for innovations sake. Is this actually a useful feature? Can you foresee yourself editing spreadsheets “on the go” as it were? Frankly I can’t see this.
There is of course the argument that it’s more of a “why shouldn’t you if you want to?”. Perhaps though Google have a longer view focusing on future devices.
I’d love your thoughts…

Well we’re using a spreadsheet (I say we, I mean Sarah!) to coordinate our wedding, and it has all the phone numbers and to-dos and quotes in it, so I’d say it would be very handy for people who aren’t using Spreadsheets as an account would.

Fair Point Stewart. I suppose if your edits aren’t too big. Wouldn’t some GTD software be better for that though. Something like Nozbe.com that has an iPhone app?
