Offline access comes to Google Docs

Since Google Gears was initially released the most prime candidate for offline access must have been Google Docs.
To have the freedom to edit documents offline, and the flexibility to access documents from anyhwere online or through a mobile device is wonderful. My Google Docs recently got the Gears upgrade enabled. Synchronising documents is quite fast, although I have not yet given the offline access a good trial, the only major lacking feature is the inability to create new documents whilst offline, though this can be easily overcome by creating a few empty documents before going offline and hottong the road. It would be nice to see my Gmail on Google Apps upgraded to the new version, surely in time. Google's rollout of new features to Apps seems to be sporadic and somewhst chaotic at times.
