The Dojo offline toolkit allows for web applications to work offline. It consists of a JavaScript library (bundled within the web page) and a ~300K download with the logic to cache a web application's user-interface for offline use.
How is Dojo offline related to mobile web? Right at this moment, not directly.
But Dojo offline touches on a very important and needed characteristic, a key feature that future mobile web browsers must support:
“The ability to work disconnected”, or “Support for disconnected or offline browsing (cache), allowing the Mobile Web application operate as an occasionally connected application”
See the Mobile Web FAQ for more information about the Mobile Web, and about other characteristics that future mobile browsers must exhibit.
From the mobile perspective, the 300KB+ Dojo offline download is pretty stiff, and again, caching is of great importance.
