In these days of Tablets and Clouds like Google Docs the rendition of Google Docs spreadsheets with a Blackberry Playbook is very poor indeed in my view and nothing like a proper business application.

A larger sheet is unmanageable.

lol 'clouds'... they had a name for that in the late 90's. The Internet. ;)

I havent used it much but the SheetToGo seems to be alright.

have you used Google Docs on another tablet doing the same task? Just wondering... I've found GoogleMaps to be horrendous at times.. need the real App if google ever bothers to make one.

Google Docs is fine on iPad. Guess we all have to wait for Google Apps!

For a Google Mpas implementation on the PB, try the Magellan Compass app, via App World. It is Google Maps, though implemented within the PB UI.
Hopefully this is a hint of things to come with Android apps ported to PB.
I've used the Docs To Go on both the iPad and Xoom...as the screen is larger, the virtual keyboard does not cover as much of the file you're working on, making it a bit more usable.
Implementation is about the same (multi-tabs in Excel workbook is kind of wierd at first).
