It is an alternative to the expensive Microsoft Project Server.

You can hack it to think you have an iphone, but the feature is only supported for people with an iPhone.

I have a MobileME account (free with My Mac), and as I am a freelancer I work with clients with whom I use Amazon S3, Mosso, Box.net. SMEStorage supports all of these and lets me import from Evernote and Google Docs to any Cloud (I back up my MobileMe Account). As the service also supports email backup, I schedule the service to do an offline sync everyday so all my emails are backed up to MobileMe also and available for me to access on my phone if I need to. Lastly I use Gmail as a backup cloud for files and data, again through the service.

I’m pretty impressed with this so far. The only issue is lack of documentation so I found some of this stuff by accident almost, but it is very powerful once you have it all setup.

I still have an old fashion one, you would be surprised. Usually i take the laptop with me and you are right a phone is much more easier than a laptop. I think it’s all about habits in my case.

I use airset.com to have access to my calendar and contacts from anywhere online. This also allows me to automatically add designated appointments to my SO’s calendar and he can add his to mine, so we avoid scheduling problems.

I use airset.com’s desktop synch to my desktop with Palm Desktop – and then straight through to my Palm 650 for mobile access.

My passwords are synched between my desktop and my Palm via SplashID.

I have a custom domain that I can either access virtually from anywhere through their webmail access, via my Palm, or on my desktop via Mozilla Thunderbird.

I still haven’t found a satisfying solution for my to-do’s and projects. Unfortunately, airset.com doesn’t synch lists and Thunderbird doesn’t synch with my Palm (unless there is an app for that I’m not aware of). That’s why I pretty much rely on my Palm for to-do, and use ReminderFox for quick notes to myself generated from emails.

Depending on the complexity of the I use Project + PDesk (Palm + desktop) or voo2doo.com. I’m still missing the solution that gives me a smooth transition from web to desktop to mobile!

Contacts are synced through Address Book’s built in Google syncing. Email is using Gmail through IMAP on a custom domain name through Apple Mail. I currently do not have iCal set up for Google Calendars, but I could easily do it with Google’s CalDAV solution or BusySync. This data is synced to my iPod touch through Google Sync, based on Exchange.

I use Microsoft’s Live Mesh for syncing files. This serves not only as a syncronization method, but also as backup. Mesh only allows 5GB of online storage, which is plenty for data, but is very restricting for media. Another option would be Amazon S3 with Jungledisk.

My passwords are synced through Mesh and 1Password, as well as through Xmarks, which also syncs bookmarks.

This solution has worked very well for me, and so far I have not had any data loss, but it could happen, so back up!

Id rather pay a small fee for a service than get it for free. Still looking for the perfect solution, just started with dropbox and really loved it. Contacts mainly reside in my facebook account, im using it as a work tool, and calendar i use my outlook syncd to my gmail account.

I use Windows XP at work and Macs at home and all my contacts, calendars, and bookmarks are in sync using nothng more than the tools Google and OS (OS X or Windows) provides. For syncing files I use ZumoDrive which also allows me to access the files via my iPod Touch (we have wireless in each conference room).

http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2008/05/mac-os-x-1053-sync-google-contacts.html

For the Windows machine, get a copy of Office that includes Outlook and use Google Outlook sync.

If you have your own domain and are using Google Apps then Google provides Outlook and Exchange integration:

Or … if you have the cash, for $99/year, MobileMe will keep it all in sync for you.
