And while the idea of syncing against a free service I'm using anyway (gmail and gcal) makes sense, I'm not interesting in paying for an online service for other things when I've got tons of storage locally.
One thing I was concerned about, but hope will be ok is backing up application settings, preferences, and the apps themselves. As long as we can mount the Pre as a drive, hopefully we'll have access to the whole file system and can just drag a copy onto your computer's local storage?
Re SplashID: Not only will my SplashID-type data 'never' go on the cloud-to keep it private, but w/o a desk top version (that MUST be sync-abe), if my Pre breaks, crucial data is lost to me until I get another. No way I'll get a Pre as currently created.
