One thing that I have found that is really invaluable is Hamachi https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en

I have it setup to run as a service on my development server and I have the client running on my M-Series Gateway Laptop, so no matter where I am I can connect securely to my development environment. It’s also production ready. I have set this up for a number of clients that use it to run Client/Server Applications remotely.

[Laptop] mobile users are a bit different than those of us in the tablet/smartphone variety. Our needs might be a bit different but overlapping:
- removable memory card with automatic backup software
- remote security application (SIM and device wipe/locking, etc.)
- external (bluetooth) keyboard
- Proporta and/or Solio battery pack

Like the previous poster, depending on the type of mobility, the needs of software will be different. Some web apps adjust better than others, but there will need to be more attention paid to tablet/smartphone-type accessibility as well as the laptop/notebook users.

Right now, there aren’t enough mobile devices in use to warrant substantial investments in designing and implementing specialized services, so mobile users have to suffer through repurposed content. Unfortunately, this is a chicken-and-egg problem, because the use of mobile devices will remain limited until more specialized services are available.
To succeed, mobile devices must feel like an extension of your main machine: they must provide what’s required, but no more, and add the ability to reach home and grab anything you need but didn’t bring. Developers need to rethink applications and base them on a new task analysis that’s strongly situated in the mobile context and the moment of use.

For online storage I use my .Mac iDisk, with 10 GB, because it syncs so easily with my mac.
My web host (Powweb) offers a lot of GB’s too: 300 for a standart account. Not bad at all!
