> Until someone figures out how to put Internet into a bucket to use as a battery, please let me work off-line when I want.
Offline storage. Page caching. It does exist. It is the functional equivalent to batteries in more ways than one too - you are limited in capacity, but not as much in transfer rate.
But unfortunately it doesn't always work. Point in case: Google Maps offline mode on tablet sometimes doesn't work, because every now and then Google Maps app needs to contact Internet for something, and won't let you use it off-line until it connects and gets what it wants. Not fun if you're in the middle of nowhere at that moment.
