Google Gears For Mobile
By: Nathan Weinberg 2008-03-12 Google announced last week Google Gears for Mobile (or specifically, Windows Mobile), bringing its promise to offline phone applications, even the promises of Gears for computers... ...has still not been realized. You can check out Gears Mobile here or watch this video: Web-based office suite Zoho and personal finance site Buxfer are the first to use Gears Mobile (yes, not even Googles products support this yet). Considering the lack of progress getting web apps to use Google Gears, especially the dissapointing support for Googles own products, its amazing theres already a mobile version before theres, say, a Gmail version. Its nice that, for once, Google is supporting Windows Mobile first, but considering the myriad of phone platforms not supported, and the many online apps not supported, its little more than nice. Anyone want to bet that Gears for Windows Mobile is mostly just a developer platform in order to have Gears-supporting apps ready to run on Android, whenever Android happens?
