For a lot of files you just plug it into your computer via USB and the computer just sees it as a drive. So I can read/write pictures, video, wallpaper, ringtones, and documents just like the phone was a flash drive. It also has a Media Sync feature which I only use occasionally. Palm and Apple had/have some feud going on iTunes integration so some iTunes releases break the Media Sync, which is annoying. But I don't use the Music player much since I can run Pandora.
I use the network sync functionality built into the OS, which is seamless for me. So all my Google, Exchange, Facebook, etc, etc contacts/calendars stay up to date. I happen to use Toodledo.com for tasks and notes and use a free app for that. Missing Sync is available for desktop syncing (http://www.precentral.net/review-markspaces- missing-sync-1). I used it for my Treo but don't really have the need with WebOS. As I understand it Missing Sync can also handle all of the media syncing tasks mentioned earlier. Your profile is actually backed up to Palm daily, which is nice if you have to wipe the phone. When you turn it back on after a wipe you give it your profile info and all of your accounts (and App Catalog apps I believe) are restored to their last backed up state. Finally, I backup the phone with rsync over Bluetooth usually. You could do it over the data network if you wanted/needed.
