Google is now allowing mobile editing of spreadsheets stored on its documents system. Users have had read access for some time now but now owners of smartphones (S60, Android and iPhone) can edit spreadsheets on the go as well.
I’ve tried the new feature out using an N95 and it certainly works, unsurprisingly complex features are [...]
