Google gears on the n810 would solve all my calendar, mail app, office app and synchronization needs. Is there any chance of getting a browser with gears compatibility / functionality on my n810 or the n900 ?

# Benefits of a web app as a desktop app:

* One codebase vs. a desktop application's various client (OS X, Linux, Windows) codebases
* Easy auto-update mechanism (updating JavaScript, HTML, CSS, manifest version number) vs. desktop application's complicated software update process


What does Gears require to be compatible with my Linux system?
If you'd like to run the Gears for Firefox on a Linux (32-bit) platform, please make sure your system has glibc 2.3.5 or higher and libstdc++6 (Gears 0.3) or libstdc++5 (Gears pre-0.3)

Linux - Firefox - Files are stored in the user home directory.
