Just want a basic spreadsheet and word processor program. Numbers lite maybe?
Google Docs? Of course, I say that with the knowledge that it's all I use on my laptops, so...

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
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.

Apparently Goffice lets you do work processing offline on iphones. [link]
Of course you are word processing with no cut-and-paste capabilities. And apparently the documents are a bit oversized for the iphone. But, it is a word processor you can run offline on the iphone.
