No doubt I am excited about this - as well as the remote backup of 20G (although I love my timecapsule) - being able to access my stuff when I am not at my laptop is key, wirelessly syncing all my contact/calendar is key. I agree with Robert that if it was a free service to all of us that have dropped 3 or 4K on macbooks + iPhones would agree that it should be free -- but I will pay if there is no advertising. Actually, they should have followed the same business strategy as Flickr -- make it free - the wireless syncing, but have a tiered form of "Fremium" as discussed in Amy Shuen's book on Web 2.0 Business Strategy. Give my 1-5GB for free, entice me to pay the $10/month for the additional space and additional services - more storage, photogallery, customizable blog that accepts posts from my iPhone that is literally turn key -- they could have thought the business model through a little better - especially given the fact that they will be collecting vast, very explicit data on my iPhone application usage through their messaging service - as opposed to using background services.
