A Mashable post lists tools for synching digital information on desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and PDA’s.

The list of file synchronization tools is in three main categories: open source, freeware, and commercial. The tools are not data backup solutions. “File synchronization means that when you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the program will perform the same operation at the other location. Hence each copy of the data is the latest copy.”
