Google Announces Gears 0.2
February 20, 2008 – 11:00 amIt’s a big day for product announcements, apparently. Hot on the heels of the new Flock beta, Google has announced that a new version of its Gears browser plugin is available. (Well actually it looks like the Gears team blogged their release first, but in my RSS reader breaking news occurs in alphabetical order.) I’m anxious to get some hands on experience with this product as well. If anyone has ideas for a simple side project that could be developed using Gears (and preferably compared with competing/overlapping technologies like WHATWG offline storage, Prism, AIR, etc.), let me know.

Wikipedia proxy for accessing wikipedia pages you reference regularly and would want access to when offline. That’d work for any reference site, there are probably more focused sites that would be more useful.
