    Post Viewing Google Documents on G1


    OK, so far there are no apps for viewing MS Office docs or PDF files (Developer Geeks, please fix this soon!!!). Someone posted on one of the threads that we could upload documents to Google Documents. So I uploaded a PDF to Google Docs on my PC. Then I navigated to Google Docs Mobile ( www.documents.google.com/m ) on my G1. But when I tried to view the PDF, I got a 404 error message. Has anyone been able to successfully view documents on the G1 via Google Docs? Am I doing something wrong?

    try a word, or .txt document and see if that works for you.

    I have no problems accessing the documents from my G1, but I have a very annoying problem, with both .doc and .html files: the image generated in the G1 browser is just a little wider than the screen, so I need to keep scrolling left and right at every line, which is a real pain.
    Did any of you have this problem? I am quite sure it is related to the Android browser, the same files just adjust to the screen size in IE7.
    Thanks
    Andrea
