PDF, Word, Excel

+1 for Docs to Go. I'm pretty damn cheap, so it hurts dropping too much cash on apps, but I use the edit functionality to work on Word docs, spreadsheets, and Powerpoint presentations that my partner sends to me...and it works out pretty well. Once in a while I have problems with certain docs like everybody else, it really is a phone, not a computer, so I accept a speed bump once in a while.

I also use Docs to Go. And while I wouldn't vouch for its performance with huge spreadsheets, I wouldn't try working on huge spreadsheets on my phone either. I have encountered one problem with spreadsheets, however. Some "faux excel" programs (e.g. Google spreadsheets and Open Office) appear to create Excel formats (i.e. .xls and .xlsx) that are not readable by Documents to Go.

The workaround when I encountered this problem with a spreadsheet sent to me via email was to open the problem spreadsheet on my computer in Excel, save it, and send it to myself via email. At that point, of course, Documents to Go opened it without a problem.

I realize this workaround isn't always feasible but I note it only for those who believe Documents to Go is the problem with a spreadsheet when in reality it is the program that created it.

You might experiment with the gDocs app and the GDocs IO Extras add-on ($.99) in the Market. It looks like it might do what you're looking for. If it does, I'd be interested in knowing.

I'll check these out. I don't think I'm able to create a Google Doc on the mobile site either; at least not without an extra app or something.
