Google has come out with Google Gears that will allow developers to create Off line Web Applications, that means a plug in to install to allow your computer to support this feature.

It will be interesting to see how people take advantage of these new tools, i could see some one using the client or users computer to do the muscle work for complex commands. Not to mention the ability for a developer who is on a business trip finishing up some changes last moment on the flight over to deliver the project to the client.

Notes:

The Database module provides browser-local relational data storage to your JavaScript web application. Google Gears uses the open source SQLite database system.

The Factory class is used to instantiate all other Google Gears objects. Using the create method, an application specifies the interface version it uses.

The LocalServer module allows a web application to cache and serve its HTTP resources locally, without a network connection.

The WorkerPool module allows web applications to run JavaScript code in the background, without blocking the main page’s script execution.

Adobe Apollo will also support SQLite, they have been working for a while now to include it and now its official.

Seams like there are so many new options for developing applications for the desktop with an internet background now it should offer interesting results.
