We can now edit Google Docs with our mobile with the official App :)
More information can be found in this blog entry from the official Google Documents blog.

You should be able to do this natively.
Android 3.0 (and below):
In your launcher, press and hold on a blank area and click "Shortcuts". Select "Drive Shortcut", then your document, and it will create a link for you.
Android 4.0 (and above)
Open your app drawer and jump to the Widgets section. Swipe until you get to "Drive Shortcut". Long-press and drop ...

One reason you will not find an editor for android that supports fonts is probably because almost all android devices only come with 3 fonts, Droid-Serif, Droid-Sans and Droid-Sans-Mono. There are some devices that have other fonts, but from what I have seen, they are not "standard" fonts like you would see on a PC/Mac.
Also, the editors are limited because ...

There is now an actual Google Docs application in the Market made by Google. You can take a look at it in the Market online here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs&feature=search_result - I've used it and it's pretty similar to the online look, but with a more native feel. Hopefully, this is what you're looking for!

You could simply use a bluetooth/wifi mouse app like PRemoteDroid. There are a bunch of others, and generally speaking they just allow your device to be used as a mouse/keyboard input. If you can pair with your PC it should work, although I've never tried it myself (I do use PRemoteDroid to pair with and remotely control my Xoom, though; works great).

Google Docs on Android has no offline cache at the moment. Source
The Browser version has this functionality. I hope the Android App get's offline docs too, that would be awesome. :)

I do not believe this is the way Google Drive works. The app, if I am not mistaken, allows you to view (and edit some Google documents) but maintains them in the cloud. While it does allow you to download them, it saves them to your Download folder for local use only.
You can choose photos you've taken from your gallery and upload them to Google Drive, but ...

Use FolderSync. I was using it to sync folders with Google Docs. After upgrading to Google Drive, sync still works. I have just tested by adding new Google Drive account. Google Drive is fully supported. Just, choose Google Docs when adding account in the app.
In case, you don't want to pay, its free lite version is also in Play Store, but with some ...

Goggle Drive gives you some security options regarding your documents:
You can choose to encrypt all offline documents (that is, documents
stored on your device);
And can also choose to decrypt documents incrementally as they are
streamed to your phone, by selecting the Streaming Decryption, thus having just a small portion of the document decrypted when ...

I didn't realize you can change the account to use when uploading the file. I don't understand how I missed it, but here it is:
Given that the marked account value always changes back to the other account and I have to adjust it every time, I guess there is still merit in the question. But my problem was finding this UI item.

Using the Google Drive App I created a test spreadsheet to investigate your question. I found the [1] to be a footnote - at the bottom of the spreadsheet is a list of all notes about validation for each applicable cell. The same applies to comments made to cells and, I suspect, other types of advanced cell formatting that don't translate well to small ...

There are multiple solutions available, depending on your goal. Probably none of them covers exactly what you describe, but maybe one of them comes pretty close, or a combination can be the solution for you.
A bunch of apps like Expensify offer to keep track of your expenses. Here you can scan your receipts, record your milage, and more (the app takes care ...

I am using the latest version of Drive. I know there was a big update not long ago and I see this question was asked before the update.
Anyway, just go to the cell/column/row and highlight it. Then tap on it again.
Options will come up for "Clear" if it is just a cell or range. If it is a row or column "Delete" will be one of the options.
I hope this ...

Firstly, this is assuming you have ICS or higher (not sure if the Gallery works this way before then).
If you open an album, you should be able to long-press on a photo, and then at the top of the screen, where it says 1 selected, press that and you can say 'select all'.
Then upload them.

I did end up using the paid app Presenter. I liked the interface and the way it dominantly shows the presentation time.

Short answer: No.
Long answer:
I just put my phone into Airplane mode, and tapped the "Docs" icon that I happened to have on my home screen. It showed me a list of my docs! So far, so good.
I then tapped one of the docs, and saw a frowny face that said something like "Sorry, can't access this document because I don't have a connection to the Internet".

The best solution I have found so far is to access the desktop version (not mobile version) of a document with the FireFox browser for Android. This way, I am able to see all fonts just fine and edit the document without it suddenly adding characters at random or messing up the document. The only problem seems to be that FireFox does not seem to understand ...

There is a Google Docs app available on the market but I myself wasn't too keen. However, there is an called Documents to Go which allows the creation and editing office documents and Google docs.
To edit and create though you do need the paid version of the app as the free version is only a viewer but you need the free version installed with the paid ...
