This post was created using Google docs for Android on a Galaxy S smartphone. As I explore my options for creating content on the go this seemed like a great solution and it’s free.

The Google Docs service is also cloud based which means I can work on my document back on my home computer without messing with disc swaps or bluetooth transfers. The creation of a doc on my smartphone was just like typing a text message.

The editing of the document through the google app was limited. There was no way of bolding or editing the text format. The document was going to end up my home computer anyway, and I can edit quickly through the full Google doc web site. As a quick and simple method for creating documents on the go I would say this is a great solution.

The Google Docs app is going to get much use this summer as I travel. This would be a great app to add to the cheap Android tablets as the screen size would be a better experience for touch typing. As I use this app more and more it has started to grow on me, I do think I can get many projects completed with Google docs. If you have an Android phone then make sure to download the Google doc app and you will have a great office suite for free on your smartphone or tablet.

If Google could just add spell check and the ability to format text then you would not need to do a final edit on your computer. There are a few other office suite products for Android that cost from $8.00 to $15.00 that might have a few more features, but aI guess if you can live without the fancy extras you can get a lot done with Google docs and the best part is that it is free.
