Last week Google Docs got support for .doc and .docx attachments. Today mobile version of Google Docs was released for Android, iPhone and iPad only. You can now view PDFs, .ppt, .doc and .docx files you’ve uploaded to your documents list, without needing to download the file.
The feature is pretty cool and useful and it is available only on iPhone, Android and iPad. This and others features released by Google lately is available only for Google’s own Android operating system and iOS – Symbian users are left out of many of these features which makes Symbian platform unappealing. And N8 is the last Symbian N Series Smartphone. N series is the Flagship Smartphone segment of Nokia and it won’t be shipping with Symbian anymore. Symbian will be used by mid tier and low end Smartphones… that would make Symbian more unattractive in the eyes of premium customers and developers. So what about Symbian 4 – we have no idea about that.
All in all the deal doesn’t seem to be sweet or even worthy and it’s no wonder Nokia hardcore fans are moving to Android and iPhone. My friend Micky Aldridge has made the decision to switch to iPhone… read his announcement and reasons for switching here, and his views on the upcoming Nokia devices is also a great read.
So tell me guys, do you still have faith in Nokia/Symbian or are you switching to other platforms?
