I could easily envision a backend system that would run on a PC, be accessible via WiFi and/or to a publicly exposed IP address, that would handle all of the contact information, possibly even memos and other traditional Palm type programs/data. The WebOS piece (in my vision) would read the cached information, and any other things that need to be synced (possible add-ons?), and send it to the personal server.
Call me a dreamer, but I think this would be an oustanding way to fill the need for synchronization, and do it using the WebOS.
Thoughts?
Windows Home Server... I run one of these at home and love it... I even have it on an UPS.. lol

What you are proposing could be done with the windows home server via an add-in.
I can access the files on my home server from anyplace that has a data connection (even through I don't). It is easy to setup the process to share files (I have tested this for weeks on end)... it is based on Windows 2003 tech so it is fairly secure.
Interesting to see what comes of the windows home server and products like the pre.
