My company has developed a number of .NET Compact Framework applications for windows mobile devices.
These are business apps that all basically do the following:
1. Sync data with a server when the device is docked (has internet connection)
2. Let the user view/edit data when in a disconnected state (doesn't have internet connection)
3. Repeat
We have been using compact versions of mssql and oracle on mobile devices for storing data on mobile devices.

However, we would like our applications to be less platform dependent.

One option that we are considering are offline web applications.
That is, we want to create a set of mobile web pages that can perform the above tasks while running on mobile device in offline mode.

What is your experience with off line web apps on mobile devices?
Can these off line web apps perform what we want?
Can you suggest a technology to look into or at least another internet community where we can get more information about this?

Much Thanks,

-Joel
