I thought I read somewhere that Gears was always a stopgap until HTML5 got off the ground. A lot of blogs are reporting that google is dumping gears for HTML5.

I thought I read somewhere that Gears was always a stopgap until HTML5 got off the ground. A lot of blogs are reporting that google is dumping gears for HTML5. That is really strong language considering most browsers don't support HTML5 so it will be a few years before Google stops its work on Gears. Hell I've got a VM with IE6. Not because I want to but because there are a few stragglers out there that can't or won't update their browser.
