Google Docs optimized for viewing on the iPhone

Over at the official Google Docs blog they've announced a a revision of the Google Docs interface designed more mobile devices, in particular the iPhone. You can now get "mobile-optimized versions of your docs, spreadsheets, and even presentations (for iPhone only for now)" by pointing your mobile browser at http://docs.google.com/m .

Unfortunately, the revision is still read-only, allowing you to view your documents, but not to edit them. Hopefully, Google will figure out a way to bring editing to the iPhone before February. In any case, this could still come in handy if you're a regular Google Docs user on the go.

iGmail - Gmail iPhonified

iGmailMerlin Mann has been positing that at some point Google and Apple will (or at least should) join forces to bring the power of Google's online apps (Gmail, Docs, etc) to the iPhone. While of course you can access your Gmail account on an iPhone through the mobile interface (which was recently improved), it's a decidedly un-iPhone experience.

Enter iGmail - an Ruby on Rails application with a name that will almost certainly be forced to change by Google's lawyers.

iGmail is a simple view on your Gmail inbox, formatted to match the iPhone's native applications. You can try it yourself directly using their demo installation, however keep in mind that you're giving your Google ID and password to a third party.

iGmail is very pretty, but is definitely missing a lot of important features. For example, the current Todo list from the developer includes adding support for starring / unstarring messages, managing labels and contacts, and composing messages using JKeyboard.

Being that this is a Ruby on Rails application, to run it yourself you're going to need a web server that can run Ruby applications. For some people this will be a show-stopper, but if that's the case maybe you can seek out a friend with server space that is willing to let you access your email on the go using this method.
