Hi Neil, thanks. I've always been a bit put off by the price. I use Time Machine to back up my Mac, and have just relied on syncing to keep my contacts current. But I may have to take a look, and at least give it a try. I do like the Remote Lock features, and the ability to find your phone, though I have to say so far, knock on wood, I've never needed that.
