I'm a wedding photographer, and just tonight the groom had written his speech on his iPhone. All good until hour dropped his iphone, shattered the screen and lost his speech- and he had to wing it at the reception. If only he could have had a "off site" backup.

Also, in your wedding scenario, an hour before the ceremony I don't see how an offsight backup would have helped? Dropping the phone and shattering the screen could happen to any phone. Is he going to drive to the store and buy a new phone then drive to his home or office where he has his backup memory card stored?

I usually don't get into these debates but for being such a major complaint, in 75% of the scenarios you've described memory card storage wouldn't help at all...

I'm not trying to defend the iPhone. Like I said, I don't have one.
