Google Gears Is Here!

If you own a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device you can now try out Google Gears. What is Google Gears? Well, its an add on for your browser that allows you to launch some web based applications while your device is offline. These apps have to be written to take advantage of Gears, but the idea seems very promising. Imagine being able to check your bank account balances with or without a connection to the internet. How soon before we see a version for other platforms such as RIM, Symbian and Apple's iPhone? Stay tuned for an update on Gears once we've had a chance to install it and try a few of the apps available for it.
