Webaroo takes the internet offline

This reminds me of what AvantGo does for PDAs, only for laptops. I'm downloading it now to give it a try.

"The software works by downloading sections of the internet to a portable device. Webaroo's servers then scour the internet to create relevant packs of information from which users can choose.

'Once you download web packs or websites onto your mobile device, you can search them anytime, anywhere without a connection,' said a statement on the Webaroo website.

The company provides packs on topics including news and sports, as well as information on major cities such as London and New York.

'As mobile use grows, consumers want to be able to do more with their mobile devices,' said Webaroo chief executive Rakesh Mathur."
