It's the only thing out there that just plugs in and works with iCal and all the other items that work with MobileMe. I'm cranky that the iPhone doesn't have copy and paste
Ditto me on those. The other thing that pisses me off, is there is still no office suite type of thing. Just want a basic spreadsheet and word processor program. Numbers lite maybe? C'mon Steve!

I now have a DB meter, signal generator, FFT, and spectrum analyzer on my phone, which is pretty great.
I have the spectrum analyzer. Very handy. Which db meter are you using? Um. How calibrated is it?

My iPhone makes me laugh and clap my hands. Other times it makes me go "Grrrrrr," but then I remember that it's shiny and pretty, and I forgive it.
until you drop it. Again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Google Docs? Of course, I say that with the knowledge that it's all I use on my laptops, so...

IIRC, google docs has to be connected to the net. Work on a plane? In the basement of the theater? NSM with google docs.

Ah, and it's just the spreadsheets that are editable anyway.

Zoho lets you edit writer documents offline but nothing else. But it uses google gears to do this, so I wonder if there is way to work with google docs offline too.X-post Le nubian answers before I ask.

The mobile version, though? I know you can use GDocs offline on a computer, but I somehow failed to turn that up in my iPhone researches.

oh! I don't think there is a way to use google docs offline on an iphone. I don't know.

I can't do it on my symbian phone.
