With the World Mobile Congress just a couple a days away we hear many news leaking from different directions.

The interesting news/battle seems to be in preserving the information of your mobile device in the cloud. No, not just when your are switching your phone and staying with the same platform. Why not just switch phones and and platform and still be able to get all your data over the air back onto your new phone.
An article just last week gave some hints of Microsoft’s cloud-based service complements to mobile phones named Skybox. This service will grow to be available for Windows Mobile and Non-Windows Mobile devices. It’s also going to be called My Phone
It looks like Google is reacting to this need as well with the expansion of their Google Sync services (in Beta) to the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices.
The war of cloud data management is on, and consumers won’t be tied down to a single platform anymore for their mobile device.
