[...] 不久前，Google Gears宣布将来在浏览器中支持location-awareness，也是就是浏览器可以在用户的授权下，获取用户的精确位置，并将获取空间信息应用到互联网运用中。举个简单实用的例子：当浏览器获取你的地理信息之后，如果你在google里面搜索便利店，可能搜索的结果会对靠近你所在的位置的便利店给与更多的权重，这样你搜索到的信息的相关程度就越高。这一点在谷歌黑板报的一篇“搜索的未来”已经有所暗示。 [...]

Rummble Mobile for Gears — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 08:56:31 +0000

Rummble launched with Gears as a Google partner. The first release only works on Windows Mobile http://blog.rummble.com/?p=113 but future releases will soon come forth to support other mobile platforms, which we’ll also be supporting.

The Rummble platform also supports the new GeoLocation API for web browsers- which is very cool – one click and it can tell where you are often far more accurately than some of the open source IP sniffing tools.

Actually, browsers accessing remote apps (read SaaS) is more like the mainframe model, where brower = dumb terminal (albeit not really that dumb) and SaaS = mainframe app. Mainframes had a ton of advantages, most obvious of which is that you just manage one machine rather than a rash of individual workstations. But the mainframe/terminal setup was over a local network where latency wasn’t an issue.

We couldn’t replicate that model over the Internet because network latency sucked so far. Now that broadband is pretty common place, the old mainframe a model becomes viable again – with SaaS enjoying similar business benefits of centralized maintenance as that of mainframe apps.

A browser is the equivalent of a dumb terminal in the new scenario, with added intelligence of course. Clouds/BitTorrent kind of setups ease the network latencies, but still we don’t have local network speeds over the Internet – so, we need stuff like caching and local storage. Hence, technologies like Google Gears come into the picture. Enough said.
