That's how IMAP works.
I have my documents, open tabs, bookmarks, history and email all on my Android phone. It already works, and it's amazing.
- llambda 15y agoTalk about fragmentation. No, what I want is one service, one login that works across all my devices where all I do is login and I'm set. No extra set up. No plethora of services to rely on. I would love to see iCloud become this. If so, it has a chance at being a killer service.
- sid0 15y agoI don't see why you need to wait, though. The time it takes to set everything up is O(number of devices * number of services), both of which are pretty small, and the benefits you get are O(time you use the device), which is pretty large. iCloud will never become killer as long as it's locked to one vendor's platforms. The reason why Firefox Sync, Dropbox and IMAP all work is that they're all available across a large number of platforms.
- llambda 15y agoWhat makes you think iCloud will be "locked"? There's a Window's version of the MobileMe services (as some kind of plugin from what I understand). I don't see why there won't be a similar solution for iCloud. Btw, Firefox Sync is "locked" to a platform itself: Firefox.
