Editing Google docs on iPad?
Does anyone know how to do this? Googling got me a bunch of announcements from last November that editing from iPad would be rolled out "in the next few days" as well as an instructional video that says, "When you're viewing the document, just press the "edit" button." But I don't see an "edit" button! Did this rollout fail to happen?

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Editing Google docs on iPad?
I've done it before, but I find it to be a bit slow and the user interface is kind of awkward. If you go to Google Docs in the browser (Safari & Atomic both work) and log in, it should show you a basic flat list of documents in your account. Click on one and it opens for viewing as a basic web page. There's an "Edit" button in the top right corner - on the blue title bar that shows the document name. When you click on it, the page reloads in awkward-edit mode. ...Unless you have Javascript disabled so that you can post on the Nest, in which case it just shows an error: "Oops! Google Docs won't work because Javascript is disabled in your web browser."
(This all assumes that you're using Google Docs in its Mobile mode. You can explicitly tell it to use the Desktop version, which is the same as you would see on a regular computer.)
There are also some apps that claim to offer linking to Google Docs with edit capabilities, but I haven't used any of them.
It is also possible (though a bit inefficient) to edit Google docs in Pages. I opened a Google document and switched to Desktop mode, so I'd have the regular menus. Chose the option to download it as a .DOC file. Using Atomic Web Browser, that opened it in a new page, and I copied the URL and used Atomic's download functionality to download it to the app (naming it something with the .doc extension). Then I told it to open that file in an external app and chose Pages. Phew. A lot of work, but there's my Google doc in Pages ready for further editing! The bad thing is that getting it back to Google Docs will mean emailing it, though there's allegedly a way to email it directly to Docs.
