Gears is a plug-in that extends your browser to create a richer platform for web applications. For example, webmasters can use Gears on their websites to let users access information offline or provide you with content based on your geographical location.
A number of web applications currently make use of Gears, including: Google Reader, Google Docs, Zoho and Remember the Milk.
But to use Gears, you'll need one of the following:
* Microsoft Windows XP or Vista with Firefox 1.5+ or Internet Explorer 6+
* Apple Mac OS X 10.4+ with Firefox 1.5+
* Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 (or higher) or 10.5.3 (or higher) with Safari 3.1.1
* Linux with Firefox 1.5+
* Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 or higher, with Internet Explorer 4.01+
Prism: - Split web applications out of the browser and run them directly on the desktop.
Prism, previously called WebRunner, is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications without the normal web browser user interface. It is based on a concept called Site Specific Browsers (SSB).
XULRunner is a single "gecko runtime" that can be used to bootstrap multiple XUL + XPCOM applications that are as rich as Firefox and Thunderbird.
You can easily install both in Ubuntu by running sudo apt-get install command or by using synaptic package manager.
I installed both in my Ubuntu. There was an incompatibility issue....
"Google Gears" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Prism build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.
