►http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/workingoffthegrid.html

So how do we solve this problem? It is not simple, but there are steps that you can take today that will let your users use your app whereever they are. Some of these steps have direct solutions implemented in HTML; some will require you to implement some logic, all will help you build a better app.
