I'm really psyched about Google Gears. Like the addition of XMLHTTPRequest to the browser, I think this will have a profound impact. Every time I talk with someone about a full web-based approach to an application I inevitably get the 'what about when I'm not connected?' question. Well, Google Gears is the answer. And it's here today, not just in the minds of some standards geeks to be rolled out three years from now. Plus, it's well done. I really like the presence of the SQL engine. I'm sure that's something the standards guys weren't talking about, and now that Google has pushed the envelope they really should consider it. I far prefer a relational database to a simple object soup.
