To be honnest I never gave a try to Ubuntu One, probably for bad conservative reasons. I will try it. But I still feel that even if you're right that pushing things into the cloud make things simpler, there are still some flaws : - what if we don't have access to internet and only want to share on the LAN? - what with DLNA ? Are users needs to be technical guys to be able to use it? - of course I think about the speed. To come-back on my earlier exemple in a gaming LAN : what if I want to share some Gigs of data to others in the same LAN? It can't be done through Ubuntu One I guess? Although technical solutions exists to do it (and really the most simple seems to me webdav - a pretty good solution I think but until now it's usage never really took-off).
