Opera Mobile - Google Gears

Google Gears sounds like a great tool but ...

Most features arent working well

For starters the client is not resending requests for manifest files - seems to get stuck with a status of 2 for stores (my app has 4 open and one cookie based stores - works well on desktop Firefox)

Anybody else developing any web application with gears - please share your experiences.

avatarOpera supports Google Gears?

As far as I know at least the latest stable release does not.
But I do remember reading how "Opera plans on supporting google gears".

avatarHi ashay007,

Very interesting. Would you mind filing a bug about this on https://bugs.opera.com/wizard ? If you then share the bug number with me, I can forward it to the developers working on Gears.
