Description and details

On a portable device like Maemo tablets, having cacheable apps and local storage would be a huge advantage.  Right now, only the iPhone and Android browsers have this feature enabled.  This would enable people to (today) work with web-gMail offline and also to create their own applications.


A recent webkit version should enable the local storage, and for cached apps, I think that you need to trigger a cacheable app, and provide a menu list of the available cached apps.

ENABLE(APPLICATION_CACHE_INTERFACE)
and no doubt sometihng similar for the Local Storage (local SQL DB support)

Added AppCache

Looks like the build option was incorrectly listed as default - on. Explicitly turning it on fixes that, tested in the Calendar WebKit demo - works fine. Google apps kinda work more snappy now.

LocalStorage...

LocalStorage is already enabled. check it here: <a>http/webkit.org/demos/sticky-notes/index.html</a>


The problem is there are no applications using these features, at least none I know of.


I'll check App Cache.
