OK, so I know its boring (well to most people)...but the world of backups (read 'sync') is a really important one to everyone, whether they realise it or not.
So on that topic, I've just found out that the wonderful Google (you've gotta love them for their brilliant ideas!) have now got a free 'over the air' sync mechanism set up for contacts & calendars on the iPhone. I think its been around for a while on other platforms (e.g. Crackberry) but only recently been released (in Beta form) for the fanboy loved iPhone.

I currently use a lovely piece of software on the Mac called "Spanning Sync" which does a fantastic job of synchronising my contacts & calendars between the Macbook & my Gmail account. But I then have to ensure I plug my iPhone into the Macbook to then get that sync'ed up. Using Google's new mobile sync will 'hopefully' mean that this won't be necessary.
I'm sure I'll probably be eating my words when I actually get around to trying it out and realise that its completed f@cked my contacts & calendars, but hey, good on Google for trying to help me back my sh1t up.
