just a tip, with iOs 4.3 Apple has updated webkit for safari making it twice as fast as before. I could actually observe it, that's no lie. Now consider this, on iOs 4.2, Firefox "home", just an interface synced with Mozilla server (usually used for the desktop version of FF4) was much faster than Safari. Now it's not just faster, it's a rocket.

 Don't get me wrong, due to Apple restrictions, Firefox 4 mobile won't come to the iPhone/iPad/iPod platform, and FF "home" is not a full featured browser. It will sync (from your FF4 desktop) tabs, history and bookmarks (not the passwords), but it's still worth a shot.

Wuala comes to the iPhone
http://www.wuala.com/en/download/mobile

... anyway I just gave it a shot and the interface is rather poor when compared to DropBox, ie no access to locally stored pic or anything else, and no camera access inside the app ::) This means that you're bound to a read only interface with synced files from other computers.
 The only good thing about Wuala is that it's more secure than DropBox, as encryption is done locally before going to the cloud (data encryption, on top of ssl connection that is).

edit: oh btw after you install the Windows version, you'll get that in IE9:
https://cid-640aa762754142f0.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/IE%20alert.JPG

... no big deal, it's just a driver allowing the use of Wuala through a browser interface.

edit:update... an upcoming version should allow to upload files from an iPhone.

Report: Actually, iPhone 5 Will Have NFC

Quote
"From what I hear, it is possible the iPhone 5 will include NFC. An entrepreneur who is working on a top-secret NFC product told me today that he believes the iPhone 5 will have NFC and cited a friend who works at Apple as a reliable source for the information," writes Elizabeth Woyke.
