Google Docs for tablets updated.

Google updated its Google Docs app for Android to make it “work better than ever” on tablet devices powered by the platform. It introduced a new design, customised to take advantage of the larger screen on a tablet. It is available in 46 languages, for devices running Android Honeycomb 3.0 and above.

The update to the app makes Google Docs work better than ever on your tablet. With an entirely new design, we’ve customized the look to make the most of the larger screen space on tablets. The layout includes a three-panel view, which allows you to navigate through filters and collections, view your document list, and see document details, all at once.

Looking at the details panel on the right side, you can see a thumbnail to preview a document and its details before opening it. From the panel, you can see who can view or edit any doc.

Google debuts Google Docs app for Android.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

Google announced availability of a Google Docs app for Android devices. In a blog post, it said that “with this new app it’s easy to filter and search for your content across any Google account, then jump straight into editing docs using the online mobile editors.” 

Users can also upload content from the handset and open documents directly from Gmail. A widget can also be added to a device homescreen, to provide access to three common tasks: jumping to stored documents, taking a photo to upload, or creating a new document with one tap. 

Google Docs app for Android runs on devices powered by Android 2.1 or later, and is currently only available in English. It is available for download via the Android Market.
