Why should we require a clumsy physical connection to keep individual devices in sync when all of them have internet connectivity? I have an Android phone and I never copy data over a cable, everything is synchronized wirelessly. (Large content like videocasts only over WiFi.)
I claim that every mobile device should be completely independent and it's surprising to me that iPhones are still tied so closely to iTunes.

I want my phone and my ipod and my gmail account and my GPS device to have the same address book without requiring supervision.
