Offline Online

Off late there has been a whole new talk of the internet applications being available offline, which typically mean that if you are working on a online application (connected to the net) and your net connection goes down (happens a lot to me) and the application still allows you to work offline and when the connection is back online, you can post all your changes (may sound simple and lot of people may say so what??).

Just imagine that the gmail application is available for you to check your mails offline (can it be done now?), nope, thats what the future is in store for us.

Firefox (yes the revolutionary browser) is planning to deliver the support for offline applications in its next big version - Firefox 3 and Google is very much interested and planning to make this a success.
