The minimum requirements for the installation of gears are Leopard 10.5.3 or Tiger 10.4.11. This allow users to use all the APIs added by Gears. Safari users can enjoy and work with all Gears’s versions such as 0.3 release that offers a functionality to create desktop shortcuts for websites or a 0.4 release that has added Geolocation and Blobs.
The availability of Gears for Safari will also help the service to grab the sizable user base of an ever growing Apple market. With so many plans in its pipeline, Gears is also trying to make Gmail messages and calendars available offline.
