		<description>Based upon the info you have posted in the past about Zoho on your blog and my own look at the product; I would agree that it beats out Google Documents and Spreadsheets. Zoho will most likely continue to beat Google in this market, but I believe Google&#039;s ulterior motive of organizing everyone&#039;s data has to be considered here.

I believe Google is not in the game of making a complete Microsoft Office killer product; they just want the majority of consumers to adopt their product so that Google has the consumers&#039; data on their servers. Therefore, Google can troll through the data to make more money off of advertising, in my opinion.

This is not a bad thing for Google, but what I believe is the motive behind offering 50% of the functionality in a free product instead of consumers using feature heavy Microsoft Office. Since Google Maps is a prominent product on the iPhone, I wonder if Google apps are going to be fully accessible on the iPhone and pushed on consumers?

For businesses, Microsoft Office and Zoho will have their battles because they both offer integrated business productivity solutions that can (or will eventually) tie into business applications. Something Google will probably not be doing much of unless its offering Adwords management through Salesforce.com. Will Google ever present an integrated business tool or will they stick with where the consumer interaction happens?

Keep up the great work Zoli!

		<description>Hi Zoli,

1. Zoho is better. Agreed.

2. Who is better today does not matter yet. Somewhat agreed. Not necessarily Google will be the leader. This is taking financial muscle the main ingredient for an application to be number one in the market. Google has too many open fronts whereas Zoho needs to specialize only in their tool. This is something I agree with you.

3. Zoho needs to push a marketing campaign before Google closes the gap the products have. If not then, you will be right all along.
