Read blogs offline using Google Reader & Google Gear

I was blogwalking the other day using my Google Reader that subscribed to just over 40 blogs ( mostly indonesians ) and i saw this little arrow icon link on right top corner that said "read offline". Wow, i can read this offline?? that's neat!! So i follow the lead and i stumble into Google Gear download link. The page initializes your OS and browser and automatically generate a download link ( you can always change this ) for the setup file. It was 219kb so it was quick and i run the setup file in my Windows Vista & Firefox 3 ( my ubuntu crashed earlier this morning, sad.. )
After installed all i have to do is sync-it with my online Google Reader, and it will download all blog entries i subscribed. After that, i can always disconnect and go offline... but i can always open my firefox and enters http://www.google.com/reader in the address box and the offline Google Reader shows up and i can blogwalking without even connecting to the internet.
Its insane how easy the installation was.. it took less than a minute and the sync process took less than 3 minutes. crazy right?? but, before you do all this you better already have a gmail account, besides Google is way better than... you know what. :-)
