Phil, I agree that the idea is for MLO to provide its own cloud service. I only gave the examples of exchange server and MobileMe to point out how cloud computing can keep a user's contacts, calendar and email seamlessly in sync regardless of how many hardware devices that user has. I have used exchange server in the past, and MobileMe currently, because I have my email, contacts, and calendar in Outlook on 2 different computers and on my iPhone. Do you have a better way in keeping all of this data in sync besides not using Outlook?
