Yeah, I still don't get it. It sounds like a glorified version of offline browsing. The only time cached content is useful is in a subscription environment, like RSS feeds. Sure, it would be cool to have the last 3 days of Engadget cached so that I could zoom around and get crazy with less latency than a typical browsing experience but I can pretty much do that with RSS.
And Opera mini is already doing this. You setup your speed dial sites that you can then access with a single click of the numeric key pad. So whoopty doo, this one gives you 16 instead of 9. But once you actually get to the page, the novelty of the "tiles" is sure to wear off. Worse yet, it seems like it will require proprietary content to be developed which is seldom a good thing.
