Breaking: Gmail goes offline?


For what seems like years, users have asked for gmail to be accessible offline and Google is finally going to acquiesce to their demands.  Coming in approx 6 months, both Gmail and Calendar will offer you the chance to move offline.  Early testers saw a dialogue box allowing them to save 3 months of appointments locally.

Allowing these advances is something called Google Gears which exists to facilitate a smooth transition between online and offline realms.  We’ve expected good things from Google Gears for a while now, but it is good to see some progress later rather than never.

This news comes from Andrew Fogg’s twitter (where I get all my news) and he warns that it may be just for enterprise users; he is not sure but did see a demo.

Anyone really excited about having Gmail offline?  Heck, when was the last time your were not connected?  Let us know in the comments.
