One of the things I knew I would give up is the ability to edit spreadsheets since the iPhone doesn't support MS Excel and you can't edit Google App spreadsheets with the iPhone (though the preview does work nicely).
So, this morning I found a very nice solution in the form of EditGrid (www.editgrid.com), a nicely designed collaborative spreadsheet solution. EditGrid recently released an iPhone beta version of their online spreadsheet application.
This is not an iPhone app, to be clear. It is just an iPhone optimized version of their application still running from their server. This means that I can:
- convert Excel spreadsheets and work with them online
- collaborate with others
- AND, view and edit the spreadsheets from my iPhone
All of the euphoria aside, the spreadsheets do load pretty slowly but EditGrid is working on that. And of course, editing spreadsheets on a 3.5" screen has never been a lovely proposition. Still, the fact I can view and edit them from anywhere, even from my phone, is a big plus.
