Google has launched Google Gears for mobile–an open-source browser extension for wireless devices that will enable developers to build rich Web applications with the ability to run in an offline mode.
Google’s initial Google Gears release for Internet Explorer Mobile will run on devices powered by the Windows Mobile 5 and 6 operating systems, said Google Mobile Team Product Manager Charles Wiles. However, Google is also working “to bring Google Gears for mobile to Android and other mobile platforms with capable Web browsers,” he added.
