Over the past few days I have been playing with Google docs offline app, and I must say Im quite impressed. The ability isn’t there to create new docs while offline, so I would recommend you create a few blank templates for offline access.
I can’t wait for the day Im going to be able to use Google apps for everything. If you dont know about it by now I guess you can read about it here. Google has made their apps available for offline use with Google gears plugin and firefox, there is also a internet explorer version.
While playing with Google gears I also noticed that Google reader also has an offline feature which I find very cool, see screen shot below.
I find this cool feature of offline rss feeds great, I can sync my content, go off line and read my feeds while not online, go back to a location were I have internet access and re-sync the app, to update read posts, and get new feeds.
I will be playing with all of Googles new hidden features, and post updates, stay tuned!
Update: Offline apps are only available for gmail accounts, it has not been enabled in my google apps account yet.
