Offline capabilities would be amazing if all you have to do is send it when back online. Gmail is excellent (especially having my domain name address on it), the calendar is extremely useful when sharing with other people and the Writely.... we cant live without it for collaborative work. I feel bad for Zoho because when I asked someone at work if they wanted to try it, the answer is why bother, Google will have it soon enough. As for calling it irony that Zoho is using Google's open source browser plugin ... nah, its called open source. If you use a particular license for a project, you know that someone can use it to their end. So no surprise, no irony.
