So we don't have to put extra burden to free app developers, and provide a somewhat secure place for storing cloud data. This would also alleviate some concerns about privacy.

my 1st thought was... «512 MBs :-o

... most Maemo apps are in the "few MB" range, who on earth would need 512 for one app ?!? »
then i went on to [Announce] EasyList for N9/N950 and thought...
«512 for one app, huh??? 1st come, 1st served or...»
i wonder whether the Community has the ressources (i.e. storage space) for cloud storage;
shouldn't we leave this to big players like Google & Co who can afford to offer 10GB for free to each subscriber & can sell 10s or 100s of GB if wished?

or... do you have a new business plan for Maemo.org?
