There is a real need for offline capability for webapps; you just don't see it when you keep your eyes on 37Signals-type apps.

What kind of apps do you think are more suited for this? Just curious.

Well, as I said, my company's app needs it. And if you follow the link to DHH's site, you see many people in the comments talking about their apps that need offline support; companies working with Australian ag businesses, for example.

Another thing might be 30Boxes or whatever favorite calendar app you have. Sure, you can sync the feed to iCal, but you can't do everything off a feed.
