Another thing I like about the Evernote model is that if I need to use someone else's computer -- for instance I am visiting someone who does not have Internet access and I don't have my computer with me or don't want to start it up -- I can access the data on any computer with Web access that is available. or if my computer is in repair, or the baxttery is dead and I don't have a plug available, I can again use any comptuer that is available.

Jeff & all,

IMHO, Evernote (http://www.evernote .com) has hit as close to the
perfect balance between local client and webapp as we are likely to
see anytime soon. Same deal with Foxmarks. Local app that syncs with
"the cloud" whenever access is available; paired with a good web
client that also can be used by handhelds.

This is the kind of development I for one would like to see more of.

First and foremost: I have access to all my data regardless of net
coverage. Secondly: I have transparent, off-site / off-device backup
and restore capability. Thirdly: I have access to my data through the
web client even if the main device is
unavailable.

Regards, Knut.
