Google Gears is an impressive piece of technology, which enables web applications to work offline without an active internet connection. Web services like Google Reader, Zoho Writer, and Remember The Milk have already adapted Gears on their sites. Unexpectedly, Google has dropped a mobile version of Google Gears. This means Internet Explorer users on Windows 5 or 6 will be able to access online web offline!
The process of going offline on a Windows Mobile device is exactly similar to how we go offline on a computer. All you need to do is click on the offline link, and you’ll be prompted to install Google Gears (if you haven’t already) and immediately you’ll be taken offline.
Gears API will remain consistent across both computer and mobile platform, so this certainly has great potential in it! Our hardworking developers should probably feel a little cheerful about the Gears API. Here’s a quick video on Google Gears mobile:
Zoho and Buxfer are the first ones to adapt mobile version of Google Gear on their sites. I hope to see many more to join the list. I’m not sure, if this is technically feasible, but I’d love to see Gears on other mobile platforms such as Symbian.

If Google Gears is adopted by many other sites, it will be essential to me. When I don’t have Internet, then I will still be able to access things! I hope I can get that installed soon.
