My wife and I both have iPhones (absolutely love em) and this is one of the worries we both had. What would happen if one of us lost a phone. I store a ton of personal info including work contacts (they would be pissed if someone got that) that I would hate to get into the wrong hands. So our insurance policy was to get MobileMe. Not only does it work awesome with syncing contacts and calendars (she still tells me.."Did you check your calnedar?") but it has pretty cool features I just can't fathom not having (at least not since it came live). The find my phone features worked great with locating a misplaced phone in the house. Played a tone and we were able to track it down behind our kid's bed. Yeah, that was mine. The remote lock feature is pretty good. Remotely locking the phone to prevent someone from (slow them down anyway) getting access to the info. And of course if all else fails... WIPE. remotely wiping the phone is an awesome feature to protect your stuff. (pretty sure it has to be on though). Anyway, just thought I'd share and say...glad you guys found it. Oh yeah, I'm probably gonna go with picasa instead of flickr - only cuz I use wordpress and there isn't a good plugin to support mobileme photos as an album such as the one you are using.
