Google Apps on your iPhone? Collaboration on-the-go

Eric Schmidt says: “iPhone is a powerful new device and is going to be particularly good for the apps that Google is building,” he said. “You should expect other announcements from the two companies over time.”

Having Google Apps on a device like an iPhone would allow you to collaborate on-the-go. This is not just another version of MS Excel or Word on your mobile device. We are talking about fully-fledged collaboration!! On a phone! How awesome is that?

Just-in-time collaboration with Google Apps

One of the things I think is a great productivity enhancement is the Google implementation of just-in-time collaboration.

Gone is the need to set up groups of users before being able to assign groups to documents for collaboration. With Google, you simply add users as collaborators as needed. All you need is their email address - they don’t even have to be Google users.

If you want to use groups, you can use Gmails Groups and simply paste in the email addresses of the group members. Of course, it would be better if you could simply select a Contact Group, but this will have to do for now.
