I loaded google gears and tried it. It is pretty cool - in a toy like fashion.

Google gears for android and iphone will be cooler - it wants to be a mobile application. We were thinking that it would be a great tie in to zhiing. When a person gets a zhiing and is on their way somewhere, it would be great to see restaurants, gas stations, coffee shops, and other places that would make their trip convenient.

I know that my wife would get more flowers if I could easily make a stop on the way.

Bah too much information. Can you image how useful this could be if your laptop was stolen? It would be so easy to track it down...
