Google Cloud Print for mobile documents and Gmail for mobile announced

Google has announced the beta launch of Google Cloud Print for mobile documents and Gmail for mobile, which will be available throughout the next few days. Using the service, you can just open a document in Google Docs or an email in Gmail in your mobile browser and choose “Print” from the dropdown menu in the top right corner. You can also print certain kinds of email attachments (such as .pdf or .doc) by clicking the “Print” link that appears next to them.

This feature is available for English speaking users in the US and works on most phones that support HTML5, such as devices running Android 2.1+ and iOS 3+. To get started, you’ll need to connect your printer to Google Cloud Print. This step requires a Windows PC for now, but Linux and Mac support are coming soon. You can learn more at the Google Cloud Print help center.
