+ThinkFree announced yesterday that it will launch a $7-a-month [Premium subscription service][1] that allows users to view and edit their online docs offline.Google have have found the missing piece in its [online office suite][2], but ThinkFree Office already has its online suite and now users can enjoy offline functionality as well.
+
+ThinkFree, which began life as a pared down desktop alternative to Microsoft Office, has offered a free online component for some time, but, as with other online services, offline functionality wasn't part of the package.
+
+The new beta of ThinkFree Premium will offer the ability to save documents either locally or online, and includes a synchronization tool that auto-updates online files when users reconnects to the internet.
+
+ThinkFree's press release claims the suite offers "the most Microsoft-compatible online/offline hybrid office suite." However, those working with the new Office 2007 OOXML format documents may beg to differ with that statement.
+
+The ThinkFree Premium runs in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari and will be free until August when the $7-a-month price kicks in (ThinkFree will offer 10 percent discount for yearly subscriptions).
