Here's How I Use Google Docs
The major differences: the layout of the menu system; and the fact that Google Docs is online, so you access them through a web browser. One more great plus: you can create PDF files with these apps.
EXAMPLE: Downloadable Files Created with Google Spreadsheets
After listing all the places in Las Vegas to get Organic Food, I put together a file containing their names, addresses and phone numbers. So visitors could download the information into their computer, phone, Blackberry, iPOD, whatever. (From Las Vegas Organic Food)

The Docs & Spreadsheets files reside on Google's servers somewhere. But the files I create for my visitors to download are stored on the Google Page Creator Site Manager page, which provides up to 100MB of storage for pages, documents, photos, soundFX, etc.
