Word on the street has it that there will be an offline Gmail version in the near future, powered by Google Gears. For those not in the know, Google Gears is an open source browser extension which makes it possible for developers to take their web applications offline where it makes sense. To date, Google Reader is the only service taking advantage of Gears, but it makes perfect sense to include an offline component for Gmail. Heck, why not throw in Google Docs, Picasa Web, and Blogger at the same time? Just make sure you have at least 3GB of additional storage space per Gmail address. Should this materialize, do you think business users will migrate to offline Gmail or stick to clients like Outlook?
