Google provides mobile users with documents editing feature

Google has announced that documents editing service will soon be available for mobile users. 

First will come a new verification process that will cut the reliance on passwords and increase the security of connections. But in the coming weeks, document editing will come to Android and the iPad — something that users have been asking for since Google launched its own mobile OS.

Editing of Google Documents on the move makes the cloud platform much more attractive.

Unfortunately, the company has provided almost no details of the editing capability. However, Google held a demonstration at its Atmosphere event in Paris.

For corporate users, Google has launched two-factor authentication for mobile users. One of the factors is the mobile device itself, but it's still a step up from securing solely against a password. That feature is available to enterprise users immediately, rolling out to the hoi polloi over the next few months.

Mobile document editing is an enviable consequence of Android's move into the tablet space, and Google's provision for the iPad is not surprising as the company seeks to make cloud editing standard.
