In any event I can only see a couple of apps where this would really work well. The big problem I have is the loss of file access when the laptop can’t get a internet connection. So sometimes you simply need to have the files stored locally so automatic sync is huge.
One example is a good Notes like app that I use on the iPhone. While not perfect it provides a great way for me to store bits of information about the various machines I work on. Something like that which syncs up and keeps data consistent across machines is very useful. It is so useful that I might be willing to change cell phone platforms for a better solution.
what might be a bigger problem here is that doing this well isn’t as easy as the developer may think. I can see it taking years to get this working well as a server less solution supporting multiple apps.
