The Google Gears API will also be available in Apollo

I missed the first time I read it but in the Google Gears  press release you can read this quote from a Kevin Lynch comment :

"We're very excited to be collaborating with Google to move the industry forward to a standard cross-platform, cross-browser local storage capability," said Kevin Lynch, senior vice president and chief software architect at Adobe. "The Gears API will also be available in Apollo, which enables web applications to run on the desktop, providing developers with consistent offline and local database solutions."

Wow ... Now things gonna be more and more interesting.

Marco, doesn't Apollo have its own offline local storage capabilities? Why the integration with Google Gears?
