Google Docs Becomes Native For Android With Some Killer Features

Here's something I know all Android users have been waiting for - a native Google Docs application. With this app, you can create, edit, and share documents, just as you would with the web application. Along with those, the Android edition comes with a killer feature - photo-to-text. Using your phone's camera, you can take a photo of some text, and Docs for Android will convert it into a document!

Some other really cool features - if you open up a document from Gmail, it will launch it in Docs, something we've all had in the Gmail web application for some time. Search is also available in the app, so you can quickly sift through the piles of documents you have saved.

This is a very exciting addition by Google, albeit late. This should have been a core Android app straight from the start, but I guess it's better than never. This is a great start for a V1 of such a powerful application, and I'm excited to see what's next!
