Data is now assumed to be on the device only, but many apps also store some data server-side e.g. to allow sharing of certain data between users. It would be nice to have support for server-side persisted data with some built-in synching -otherwise, every app dev has to create its own server-side persistent data store/mechanism, its own set of services to expose them and its own synching mechanism.

(OK, I admit this is rather a big one :))
