The same applies here...What happens if your hard disk crashes or your loose your laptop on travel? I have no problem in using Google calender OR Google docs.

However, there are a lot of other concerns from end user angle, including split of data across too many web sites. This would certainly not be good from a long term perspective. As major corporates have learnt, individuals would soon start seeing that, it is the data that is precious. and they could start seeing that as a barrier in using many upcoming hosted services.

I used to think it was great, and apps like Gmail allowed me easy access to data, but now I combine it with 'off-web' storage via downloading emails to my PC and then backing up. The day I was stuck on the phone with a client and could not access my Gmail calender, hence making me look like an arse was the clincher. May even get another paper diary for 2007 :-O I’m moving back away for online storage.
