As much as I'd like this to be true, that's just a blog post linking to a fluff piece that takes a quote out of context.
There was a similar article based on (I think) the Mac chrome bug tracker. Basically Gears stopped working and the Google developer said, in the future they were supporting native HTML5.
This shouldn't be a surprise as in the past they've said Gears is just a way to get HTML5 into browsers that wouldn't otherwise support it.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Storage
Of course, I am not really a web developer or a Google employee so I probably don't have the whole picture.
Oh, I guess the Firefox 2 storage isn't actually HTML5 storage, according to http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/html5.html#localstorage . But then, I don't quite understand where that lies in relation to HTML5.
