Hi, This isn't the best place to ask this question as it specifically relates to people developing on iGoogle.
However just to add some insight: it depends. There are certainly ways that you can save this information on the client side if you are using browsers that support Offline API's such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE8. Investigate localStorage. However it must be noted that this will only be local to a users machine. If they access your service from another machine, you will need to provide some backend infrastructure. If are specifically looking for developing and hosting gadgets, check out the Apache Shindig project.
