Google has once again released another incredible product, known as Google Gears (BETA). This software is an open source browser extension that allows web applications to provide off-line functionality using the following JavaScripts APIs:

• - Store and serve application resources locally
• - Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
• - Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness

As this is still currently an early release (beta release), it is important to pay attention to the warning dialogs and gain access to trusted websites only. Also, it is not advised to deployed on production machines.

Google Gears Beta supports Windows XP/Vista, Mac and Linux operating systems, on browsers, Mozilla Firefox 1.5+ and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+.
