The application must be usable when offline. I.E: the user must be able to search in the available data. Also, if possible, after synchronization, the user should have all the online data available when offline. I don't think gears can be this, I don't know about Web Storage. I think a server side part is needed when being offline, but would be great if only the browser without installing more software in the client computer could do it work. If using Gears or web storage it can be done, it would be perfect.
