No official announcement has yet been made, but it seems Google has launched a version of Google Docs that be accessed on certain mobile phones.

It appears as though the service can be used on iPhones, and on BlackBerrys, but at this stage only offers a very watered-down version of the full online offerings with no editing capabilities at all.

Users can navigate through folders they have set up, search via a Google search box, and see a list of recent documents, some of which can be viewed on the phones, some of which can't.

Word processing documents can be opened and read, spreadsheets can be viewed at HTML or downloaded and presentations can be viewed on the iPhone.

Let's hope there's more work done on this potentially very useful service before the gPhone launches...
