I'm a big fan of Google Docs and Spreadsheets (http://docs.google.com). I find it a great way to work on documents regardless of where I am and what device I'm using. Features like collaboration and automatic uploading from emails add even more value that you can't necessarily get with a desktop.

I was dissapointed to find that Docs and Spreadsheets is not supported by the Opera Browser on the N800. I'm sure it's due to some specialty work that the big brains at Google have done to enable a near-desktop spreadsheet and word processing experience in a browser, using AJAX or whatever.

For a device clearly directed to an Internet-only world, it seems logical that such support would be a clear benefit.

So, it appears at this point at either a new browser is called for, or a new version of Opera that will work with Google Docs.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

me too. fortunately, it seems this is now possible with the new build of minimo posted yesterday. if correct, the n800 is now a PDA!
check thread ''new build minimo 0.16.9-1 ...'' posted yesterday.
of course, installation will be required but i -as a non developper/ non programmer- could manage to install a few applications with no sweat...

Yes!!!

I'm told that Minimo supports Google docs ans well as several other flavors of web office apps, but Minimo remains much too beta. There is a thread about it somewhere on this site ... perhaps the Apps forum

I can see the value of Google Docs if you want to collaborate with other writers over the web. If you don't, it doesn't seem to offer much that you wouldn't get from a good text editor. Probably I'm missing something -- it wouldn't be that unusual. Anybody like to enlighten me?

Hi abarrow,

no answer from Ari Jaaksi's Blog or from Nokia

Hi,

i have select the Google Apps Premier Edition - the correct decision for future mobile work

http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en.../editions.html

and i have the Nokia N770 and Nokia 800.

Unfortunately these applications function not with the current opera - and the development of minimo (Firefox) for the Nokia N800 - nothing happens - unfortunately

*********************************
which is the strategy of Nokia for the future of browser development ?
*********************************
Many Nokia N800 user wait for a concrete state from you - please
*********************************

Thanks in advance

Frank

Many Nokia N800 user want to use Google - can we reach something - as community
Thanks for your feeedback

Frank

There's a bunch of threads on this topic already, some searching would avoid repeating a lot of posting about the same issues, questions and suggestions.
