Hi Darren,

I also love when applications integrate with Google services. For starters,
this application will provide file browsing/syncing features. Later on,
we'll probably extend it somehow, but if you could pinpoint the features
you'd like to see, I'd be delighted. If you mean contacts for example, this
is handled by Funambol right now. I know it's kind of dup'ing your contacts
from Gmail, but not all users have gmail accounts. Some want to sync their
Evo contacts to U1 cloud. Tell me more, and I'll be happy to think about it!

Mike
