Thanks to Tara posting on my comments, I have discovered that the newsfeeds in Awasu are actually available offline as long as you don’t click in the right hand window which contains the headlines of each feed. If you do that, the body page returns a 404 not found as it’s trying to return the individual entry webpage. So you have to click on the feed in the control center window to view them. Apparently it also integrates with mozilla, but I’ll need to investigate that when I’m back on a lan connection to the net and not on a mobile dialup!
