There are rumors in the network that Google is preparing an offline client of its mail service. According to these rumors, the client’s design has already been developed, the application is in the process of testing and, not surprisingly, works on the basis of Google Gears.
Earlier, Google offered an offline version of Google Reader, built on the basis of the Gears browser plugin. Other companies are also adopting Gears technology, for example, the well-known online office suite
Zoho , which about a month ago announced the addition of an offline mode to its
Zoho Writer application.
Despite the fact that these rumors are not confirmed by Google, it is reasonable to expect their implementation. Google continues to collect a mosaic of its services with office functionality as a serious competitor to MS Office.
