Google brings offline access to Docs and Apps

Google is rolling out a very much-awaited feature for its hosted applications: the ability for the people to use them even when they aren’t connected to the Internet.  I think this is a good idea.  It expands useability and definitely keeps a firm one-up agains competitors, if there are any.

The first application was to get this offline access in the word processor, said Ken Norton, the Google Docs product manager. “The design goal is to create a seamless experience, even with or without an Internet connection.”
Over the next three weeks or so, the Google will turn on the feature for all word processor users; giving them all the ability to view and edit documents while offline.
