Google has dropped development of Gears, the code basis for its initial forays into offline storage with Gmail, Google Docs and Google Calendar. Google has <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/12/update-on-google-docs-offline-and-new.html" rel="nofollow">announced plans</a> to re-establish offline storage options for Google Apps content -- initially with Google Docs - based on HTML5 web storage functions. We'll all have to wait to see whether those HTML5 options, once implemented by Google, address the synchronization issue you raise.

I know it can be done from phone apps and PDA's but extensive search has failed to reveal a lap-top program. We have integrated the Calendar with Thunderbird.

Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:36:25 +0000 http://www.webdogs.org/?p=2365#comment-19881 Thank you very much for this thorough review of our product. We really appreciate hearing about customers' experiences with Manymoon. We're very glad Manymoon is working well for LSNC. I also wanted to respond to the criticisms, most of which have to do with Manymoon's UI. We've heard you, and we're rolling out a whole new UI soon that should solve most if not all of the issues mentioned. The issue having to do with getting an overall view of projects can be solved if you have an upgraded Manymoon account (Gold or Platinum). If you do, the upgraded account becomes a team administrator and can easily see all team projects, even ones he or she is not a member of.

Since then, Microsoft has itself entered the "cloud based" services arena with Microsoft BPOS, which includes online versions of MS SharePoint and Exchange. Our own solution, HyperOffice has been offering web based collaboration functionality to small organizations for close to a decade now. We had recently done a comparison between Google Apps, Microsoft BPOS and HyperOffice recently you might want to look at - http://www.hyperoffice.com/google-apps-vs-microsoft-bpos/ Nice to hear that you found the benefits of the “cloud” approach compelling enough to decide not to go the “on premise” way of SharePoint.
