But Gears does solve the problem of not losing your work while disconnected. Google Gears currently doesn’t work 100% offline, because the application needs to be already loaded in the browser.

It hooks the browser's network stack and feeds the data back to the browser directly. There is no Apache running, no http connection, etc. * Gears uses the browser's JS interpreter, as you guessed.

I'm definitely interested in checking out the forthcoming toolkits, but it's a tough choice to choose to build offline functionality for a web app that basically only benefits road warriors vs. building functionality that benefits all customers. Until it's fairly trivial and works on all major browsers, etc. I probably won't be adding it to my products.

While Google is an extremely good innovator, they also have a pretty decent track record of delivering products to market. I think Gears is something that will take them head-on against market leaders in other sectors, so this should be really interesting to watch @Tom: I tend to disagree with you on that.
