Opera has been hard at work to include Google Gears in its mobile browser, and it’s now available for Windows Mobile. Google Gears unlocks a lot of potential for web developers, primarily by way of making content accessible offline – a situation that mobile web browsers are likely to bump into. There are a few other Gears APIs which your mobile will be able to make use of, the biggest being geolocation APIs. For more info on Google Gears, check out the FAQ, and hit up the Labs to download Gears-enabled Opera Mobile 9.5.

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
