Dashwire 2.0 (Updated 6/24/08)

I wish it was more of a backup / restore effort, and less of a social conduit, since I'm not a 12 year old girl

We all do. That's why it's not of much use currently.

No one from Dashwire claimed it was specifically a backup/ restore application.....there are a ton of apps that do that.....I personally use it for adding my pics and videos of my daughter and share them with my family...and I am not a 12 year old girl.....if you want a backup/ restore app then you are in the wrong thread (there are many of them in the forum)....BTW if you do not like it, my suggestion is do not use it.....but it fits my needs personally....

Think it's very safe to say that there are plenty of solutions out there that offer considerably more powerful backup/restore functionality than Dashwire. That said, Dashwire does offer a lot of compelling functionality for free, and will continue rolling out support for additional data sets (i.e. calendar, tasks, files, etc.) and functionality over the coming weeks.

We're not positioning ourselves as a backup solution, but rather as a connected service that enables you to effortlessly connect your phone, your computer, and the web services and social networks you interact with. In the process, we're happy to help with things like back-up and restore, and will continue enhancing our functionality.

Dashwire 2.0 represented our first major step towards bringing the content on the web back down to your phone. Prior to that we restored contacts, web favorites, and speed dials. Going forward, we'll be bringing even more functionality & content back down to the phone.

I would hate for you to think that our application was made by/for 12 year-old girls. "Target Market Research" would head towards Creepersville pretty fast...lol...

Hope this helps.

Ok and in response to some of your feature requests:

Contact migration is definitely something we plan on doing... Gmail, Outlook, etc. is all on the table.

You can rotate the image on the dashboard (as I'm sure you know), but on the shared page they don't seem to change. That's probably an easy fix

With Tagging I think you might just have to get used to starting with the proper case

Viewing pictures without automatic sync on the mobile client is going to be difficult because of the technology that we use and because Dashwire would have to store the pictures on the phone and some users might not be comfortable with that. That said we're working on possible fixes...

Functionality for scrolling and on the "thumbnails" is a little tight at the moment. For the next build we are going to try to address this

Finally, some sort of scheduled sync is in the plans.

Our engineers are pretty focused at the moment on our Symbian Client release and so some of these feature implementations are on hold. But we appreciate all of the suggestions and we'll continue to push out the new stuff you guys want to see.

Eagerly awaiting any and all tweaks, thanks for the efforts. You have a pre-established beta-pool right here with this community LOL!!!!
