For me there's not much advantage in having fully offline applications in the browser that sync when I go online - I don't tend to use that type of functionality myself. I do know that a lot of other people are asking for exactly this though so others are bound to find it useful.<BR/><BR/>I'd like the ability for web application to detect when I've lost connectivity and allow me to save the state of what I'm doing and have it continue when I'm reconnected. And I'm sure others will come up with innovative ideas as application developers start using it.Chris Doublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200507509210615780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-10544385615454690432007-02-27T09:25:00.000+11:002007-02-27T09:25:00.000+11:00I'm frequently off-line and can sync Outlook and f...I'm frequently off-line and can sync Outlook and files.

I can't wait to try it out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235659238763800488noreply@blogger.com
