AFAIK, Couchbase is a CouchDB as a service tuned for speed.

PouchDB is a CouchDB implementation in the browser. I don't think your sync with other db would be easy and I believe there is no such desire in the project roadmap.

No, Couchbase is more or less a merge of Membase and Couchdb. With Couchdb it only shares its lineage and its creator; apart from that they are entirely different beasts.

It also shares more than half its name. The recognisable bit. The other bit is the generic and largely interchangeable "base" / "db". I don't know if it's intentional, but there's no wonder people get them confused.
