In a future version. (Although I read in many forums that Ninja Database is an option now. I just don't know if it is a good option or not) See comments in this thread:

Even Ninja Database Lite is not free, but it's only 49.95:

Not sure what benefits the pro version has in comparison to the lite...

And there are other options:

>>The short answer is no. This is a web app. But, the HTML5 specification does say it will support local storage. Now the issue is if the phone does not support html 5 (WP7) then that will not work as well. I think that the only way to have native support for multiple brands of phones is to write an app for each platform. BTW, since WP7 is really only supporting Silverlight, does Silverlight have local data support?

>>>Hi James. Thnaks for that.

>>>>I have been using it now for about 4 months. It helps making a web app look more like a mobile app. Here is what I have working so far. It is not yet complete but getting closer. www.rcsfind.com. It will not work with < ID8 but will work with Chrome and FF. Using a browser, you will get an ugly page with a yellow header. Click on Old Version to see what JQM is doing for me. The GPS search will not work for you but you can go to "Select Area" and see more that way. Use 1200 for the address search.
