Google has released a lot of new things for their public relations developer day. I was on hand for the first talk about Google Gears. This product is admittedly very cool. It is an open source javascript library to store in a client-side SQL Lite DB, online content, thus making it browsable offline. This type of stuff gets my nerd juices flowing. That said, this product would be fantastic for any mobile phone with a browser that supports javascript. For example, if you go on the tube and lose signal, you wouldn’t lose your Gmail that you were writing.

Somebody asked about mobile and they said “we don’t talk about plans” or some crap.

So I asked, is there any chance it will work on Opera Mobile. (It is almost working on Opera.) Same bloody answer.

Then I realized, that answer means that they are working on it. Other questions that they weren’t actually working on, they would say, “That’s a good idea, let’s talk about that during one of our meals here at the conference.” There was lunch and brunch and snacks.
