Currently, I would position Google Gears for Hackers/Hobbyists and Web 2.0 [early-adopter] developers, mostly because it is still a new technology and not yet very integrated with enterprise technologies. I also believe that the next big web evolution is going to be around web and desktop convergence (beyond AJAX). Technologies such as Google Gears, Adobe Flash/Air, and Nexaweb UCF are going to be key to this trend. This is my 2 [Euro] cents, but I would love to hear your thoughts as well. Brad,

I work with Google on the Google Gears team and wonder where you would place Gears in terms of your spectrum. While most folks only think of Gears in terms of offline, Gears is more generic than that; its actually an open source way to get arbitrary new features into current browsers, offline just being one of those. Where on your spectrum would you place it, and how would you see it expanding into other segments? Great analysis!
