Sounds interesting, but doesn't Live Mesh already do this? The whole data back-up/synchronization thing?

Sweet, that's good news. MobileMe's one of the few Apple products that I've been moderately impressed with in some time, and I'd like to see something similar for Windows Mobile and PCs. Maybe we'll get that now.
