Using iTunes?
I had the pleasure of taking a trip back to my home land of England to meet up with the team behind the Google Gears for Mobile product.

This release enables you to use the Gears 0.3 APIs on Windows Mobile devices. With this new version, not only do you have access to the Database, LocalServer, and WorkerPool APIs, but you can also create desktop shortcuts. Considering the disconnected nature and latency issues inherent to the mobile networks, these APIs allow you to deliver more responsive applications that can hide some of the problems.

Joe tells us about his experience building the Gears application.

I have also put together an audio podcast consisting of interviews with not only Joe, but other members of the Gears team.

Second, we hear from two engineers on the project, Dave Burke and Andrei Popescu. They go into detail on the platform, how you architect mobile Web applications, how you develop and debug applications, new APIs such as the Location API, and how Android fits in to the picture.

I am really excited about the prospect of building rich mobile applications using Web based technology.
