In October 2006 Google launched Docs & Spreadsheets at docs.google.com, an online application taht integrates the previously separate Writely and Spreadsheet product silos into a single control panel and admin area. The all system should work offline very soon...

Google's word processing application will now work offline, Google says, with the new feature available over the nextfew weeks, apparently. Changes made to offline documents will synchronize automatically when users go back online.

The offline feature is enabled by the Google Gears browser plug-in, which uses JavaScript APIs to enable offline access for applications such as Google Reader.

The "work offline" feature obviously is an important feature for traveling workers.

Zoho and Transmedia, which also offer online productivity suites, have been offering offline access to their word processing applications, Zoho Writer and Glide 2.0, since last year.

If you're not familiar with "Google Docs & Spreadsheets" have alook at this video:
