One of the best things about the Danger Sidekick platform, in my opinion, is its ability to sync everything to the web. You can see your pics, manage your contacts.. tons of stuff – and it’s a perfect backup solution for the everyday user.

Dashwire seems to be aiming at that functionality for many other devices.

Check out the demo video over at Dashwire.

One of the big bonuses – many users have no idea how to get pictures off their phones. The carriers certainly don’t make it easy, unless they’re monetizing it somehow. Dashwire bypasses all that, with no real work on the part of the user. Awesome.

The problem is that they’re all Windows Mobile and S60, which are platforms that promote sideloading and offloading. People with these platforms usually have many ways of getting pics off their phones already. What we really need is integration with featurephones, and that’s not going to happen without OEM participation.

I wish these guys luck. It’s a great product, but they need to get themselves into the mid-range phones to achieve the use-cases this service is ideal for.
