There is no support in the Mobile SDK for interacting with Offline Edition. We are working on similar functionality in the Mobile SDK to support offline data caching locally for mobile applications.
Hello guys! so anxious about this new functionality coming! It's already mid March, suppose it will be released these days, right? Could you please write the date, cause I don't want miss the event.
Is there any documentation on the offline capabilities, all I can find is the Mobile SDK workbook which tells you how to show offline data throught the smartstore class, but no mention of adding, editing and syncing with online data....
We're still working on the formal documentation for the offline functionality. From the workbook, the CloudTunes app that you go through is a pretty good code example of how you can use the SmartStore functionality to persist data locally, and retrieve it when you're offline. Although syncing of data is outside of the scope of that application, it does offer a good model for managing state between offline and online scenarios for the app.
No definitive timeframe yet. We're breaking ground on a comprehensive developers guide for the Mobile SDK, with the hopes of getting some real cycles behind it in the coming weeks. I'll keep you posted as we have more to share.
In the meantime, one of our developer evangelists has penned a blog post, explaining some of the work flows around offline hybrid apps. That may be useful to help you get started.

Is this possible yet?

Thanks for the reply, I look forward to seeing the documentation.
Don't suppose there is any time frame on that?
Thanks again.
