Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

Now that's I call exciting!

Google Gears released for mobile devices

That means the old sometimes-connected idea can be extended to mobile web applications. Some of my comments on why native mobile applications are still necessary in this thread are therefore pretty much becoming obsolete. If you can devise a smart mobile web site to do a lot of the hard work at the server-side, you can now just save your stuff on the device when you lose connectivity.

Of course you can do that with installed applications (and you still have to install Google Gears once), but it brings together existing web applications and mobiles.

It's only on Windows Mobile so far, but soon to be released for Symbian and Android, I expect.

Very good indeed.
