You could compare Datastore to the way Evernote works. Dropbox Datastore would be a welcome enhancement to this already useful app, and negate the need to fiddle around with iTunes. The excellent Bluefire Reader for iOS is available for both the iPhone and the iPad, but your library must sync using iTunes, and your bookmarks are lost in the process. While some of the big name e-book reader apps, such as Kindle and Kobo, sync books and even bookmarks across multiple devices, others don’t. It’s also good news for anyone who lives or works in an area with patchy network connectivity, as everything from edits made to an image to pearls of wisdom in a Notes app will all be not only saved, but available on all your other connected hardware, too. Any changes made while out of Wi-Fi range won’t be lost, but stored once you’re back at home or connected to a public Wi-Fi network. It’s not only in the air where this could be handy, but also for anyone who uses a Wi-Fi-only tablet to work or play games. If you’re struggling to think of when this would be helpful, how about when you work, take notes, or play games when on a plane? Any progress you make while in Airplane mode will be stored locally, then transferred once it’s switched off and a connection is re-established. Datastore is designed to collect information when the device is offline, and then sync up with Dropbox when a connection is established. It doesn’t require a stable Internet connection, either. Helpful if you own both a smartphone and a tablet, and use the same apps on each.
