There are still countries where internet connection can go offline,from time to time, which makes online web applications risky.
I wonder all these web service providers considers this what i call "the cost of being offline".Let's say, my work 40 hr a week can afford being offline for 3-4 hours for an invoice web application where as in email, this will cost me much more.

They seem to be working on that problem too with Google Gears where you can work offline. Hopefully the gmail/calendar GG apps will be out soon to solve the problem.
