[liberationtech] On the offline use of Gmail in refugee camps...

[Yosem Companys]

P.S. We received some interesting pictures in response to our call for
photos of people using Gmail offline in our last
post<http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/send-attachments-while-offline.html>.
Our favorite so far came from Ugo, who is at a
Saharawi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahrawi_people>refugee
camp in south Algeria<http://maps.google.it/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=it&geocode=&q=tindouf&sll=31.344254,-0.895386&sspn=4.17004,8.453979&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Tindouf,+Algeria&ll=27.49137,-7.825913&spn=0.033844,0.066047&t=h&z=15>,
where he uses Gmail offline most of the time and connects via a satellite
phone to our servers just once a day.
