Just create a new ‘Document from Photo' or select the camera icon from the widget, and your converted document will appear in your documents list shortly after you snap the picture."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//adt/auto/1303925731.usr283.png" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>As far as I'm concerned, Docs and Gmail are Google's two killer web apps, so it's always surprised me that they didn't have a native Docs app for Android.
