Could There Be More To Google, Android, Chrome, & Gears Than Meets The Eye?

In the 1-2-3 combination of Android, Chrome, and Gears, Google appears to be sending a message to developers: it’s time to end the nightmare.

Android, as most know, is the open source handset operating system that Google is launching into the market. Expectations are that the first Android handset — HTC’s Dream — will ship later this month. T-Mobile is the network operator (take that AT&T (NYSE: T)).
Chrome is the name of Google’s recently announced Web browser. It’s only available for Windows but the word is that it will be available for other operating systems including Mac, Linux and, of course, Android.

Gears is another one of Google’s open source technologies that, for the Web applications that support it, makes a Web browser think it has a connection to the Web, even when it doesn’t (like, on an airplane). Without a connection to the Internet, most Web-based applications (eg: Web-based e-mail) stop working because they can’t exchange data and instructions with a Web server. The number of Web apps that support Gears is slowly ticking up. Because of its open source nature, neither the browser nor the Web application has to be Google-based. Zoho is just one example of a competitor to Google (in the Web-based office suite market) that uses Gears so that Zoho customers can access Zoho applications, even when they can’t connect to Zoho’s Web servers. Earlier this week, MySpace announced at the TechCrunch50 conference that it would offer its members offline access using Google’s Gears.
