Google's offline-enabling project Gears (http://lifehacker.com/software/launch/access-your-google-reader-feeds-offline-with-google-gears-264682.php) released a version for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices last night, and mobile web apps like online document editor Zoho Writer (http://lifehacker.com/software/word-processor/zoho-writer-online-word-processor-147901.php) and money manager Buxfer (http://lifehacker.com/software/personal-finance/track-your-expenses-with-buxfer-236219.php) have already thrown their hats into the not-always-mobile ring. It looks like documents are read-only in Zoho at this point, but, like its desktop brother, Zoho Writer Mobile will likely upgrade to full online/offline sync (http://lifehacker.com/software/word-processor/zoho-writer-adds-full-offline-access-with-gears-326456.php) soon. Similarly, Buxfer lets you check account balances and see transactions, but not make any account changes. It's a nice start, however, and more mobile apps, and functionality, are likely to follow. Visit gears.google.com (http://gears.google.com/) from your Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device to install Gears.Interesting!
