Access Zoho Writer Documents on Your Windows Mobile Smartphone

Zoho Writer, ever the plucky Google Docs competitor, just went mobile. You can now access your Zoho Writer documents on a Windows Mobile smartphone -- with or without Internet connectivity. That's right: Zoho has leveraged the newly released Google Gears for mobile to bring offline document browsing to handsets.

You can see it in action for yourself in the above video. Unfortunately, for the moment this is a read-only option: You can't yet edit your documents (though that capability is coming). Still, gotta love the direction this is heading. It shouldn't be long before we can dispense with Microsoft's horrendous Windows Mobile office apps and use Web-based alternatives instead.
