Offline access to Google Docs is being tested as this screenshot shown:

For sure, you’ll need Google Gears — a browser extension for Firefox 1.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+ to facilitate offline functionality in web applications through JavaScript APIs — installed.

Enabling offline access and confirming the security warning for Google Gears, your documents will start to synchronize — process looks the same as feed items synchronize in Google Reader.

At this point, you cannot view or edit documents after going offline. However, you are able to perform simple tasks like renaming and starring them, which will be synchronized once you reconnected. Furthermore, offline functionality seems to work with documents only, not with spreadsheets and presentations.

We can expect full functionality will work when it comes officially, at least with documents. Meanwhile, you can try offline feature that is already implemented in Zoho.
