There are lots of fuzz around the ability to store contents offline these days. Using Google gears, local storage in the browser, Flash or Silverlight storage. I can see how these storage technologies can be useful for local applications to store user data without using some backend and having things like a local SqlLite database is really neat and handy.

But there have been lots of examples where the scenario is that you for example write to your blog when your laptop is in offline mode then commit the contents ones you get online. I think this problem is short lived since who will ever be offline in the future. We will have full 3G coverage, local Wifi spots all over, Internet connections on planes (some airlines have this already) so I ask my self when will we ever be “offline”.
