			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent sampling of U.S. PC users by research outfit NPD found that <a href="http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20071218/saas-study/">73 percent had never even heard of Google Docs</a>, the search sovereign&#8217;s collaborative word-processing tool, or any other online productivity applications, for that matter. That may soon change, thanks to an embellishment that <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/offline-access-to-google-docs.html">adds offline access to what had been an exclusively online app</a>. Over the next few weeks, Google (GOOG) will begin enabling offline access to Docs, via Gears &#8211; a browser plug-in that can store files and data locally. Soon, Docs users will be able to edit their documents in the cloud and on the desktop in the same application.</p>
<p>The availability of <a href="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9906648-2.html">an offline component for Google Docs</a> might not convince businesses to standardize on Google Apps, but it will undoubtedly get them thinking about it a bit more.  Certainly,  Docs&#8217; lack of offline access has been one of the biggest objections to the Web-hosted application. Allowing Docs users to work on their word processing documents without an Internet connection, gives them one less reason to export them to Microsoft Word.</p>
