Topolsky: "There is no native application for the Mac or iOS that replicates the shared document editing of Google Docs;"
Gruber: "The first clause isn’t true, I’d argue. Shared document editing is not an inherent advantage of Google Docs being web-based; a native client could do it just the same."
Well, sure it could (subethaedit demonstrated that well) but Topolsky clearly stated that no native apps exist that allow it right now. Great, a native app could. Whoopee. No one's doing it yet. :/
