I've used DocsToGo, which syncs with both Dropbox and Google Docs. http://www.dataviz.com/products/documentstogo/

I've also used PlainText, which is without question the best text editing tool on the iphone and ipad. The dropbox integration is sick. http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/plaintext

interesting that it is in browser, but they say are "rolling it out... on Android with Froyo (version 2.2) and on iOS devices (version 3.0+) including the iPad" what features does the android 2.1 browser lack the prevents it from being available there?

My guess is it comes down to performance. Froyo brought the V8 JS engine to Android, with a "2-3x times improvement in JavaScript performance vs 2.1":

For Pete's sake, it's about time. I think that the lack of mobile editing has been the #1 thing that's prevented me from using Docs for any serious work.

Anyone worked out how they are doing this without contentEditable? My understanding is that this was the issue on mobile webkit.

The new Google Docs editor (rolled out earlier this year) doesn't use contentEditable. The layout and text entry is all custom.

That still doesn't answer the question of how. Anyone know anything regarding the details of impementation?

I have been waiting my entire life for this to come out.*

(*Give or take a few dozen years)

If you could edit while offline, and have it re-sync when you're connected, that would be nice.

It doesn't sound like that is supported yet.

One step closer to making the iPad my go-to machine.
