I don't want my private data to be held by a third party who are not even Australian. I don't like Google's policies, and have not agreed to their terms and conditions (which, among other things, say that they can at any time remove your access to your data, do not have to explain why, and do not have to give it back). I've heard of a number of cases where a person has unknowingly transgressed some part of Google's terms of service, and has consequently lost all of his/her data --- when google turns off access at their server, the phone deletes it too! So I want to sync to a funambol (or equivalent) server that I host, backup, and control. Not to some entity I have no personal contact with in the `cloud'.
