If they can get zombo off-line, though, I'm sold.

Otherwise, I can't figure out their market. I know of no one with shoddy Internet access who wants to tote around 40gb of obsolete information. ]]>Apr 10th 2006 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/Apr 10th 2006 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/Apr 10th 2006 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/acer-and-webaroo-to-deliver-the-web-on-a-laptop-sort-of/
- Offline use. Ever been on a 12-hour flight and needed to look up some technical information? Or been staying in a hotel without Internet access?

- Research: Freeze a copy of the Web at periodic intervals.

- Distribution to localities without Internet access, intermittent access, low-speed access, or metered access

- Employees and consultants behind firewalls that don't allow Internet access (there are many, especially in the government and financial services industry)

- School research for students (presumably it could be filtered...)

"There are plenty of reasons why a snapshot of the Web would be useful:

- Offline use. Ever been on a 12-hour flight and needed to look up some technical information? Or been staying in a hotel without Internet access?

- Research: Freeze a copy of the Web at periodic intervals.

- Distribution to localities without Internet access, intermittent access, low-speed access, or metered access

Well said...

Most engadget users seem to forget not everyone is glued 24/0 to the net, but people (here in the US, not to mention other countries) ACTUALLY SPENDS TIME OFFLINE. There's people on the road, waiting rooms, in a cab, rural areas etc etc etc etc etc, that could use ANY version of the net.

And it's not someone else's version of an essential web, it's your own custom version.

I think there's a HUGE market for the product, obviously excluding engadget users...
