Obviously they will need to get the user to register with the service first!
And if this turns out to be a good idea, then general frameworks will be
created which can support multiple service providers etc.
If this idea succeeds, not only will Canonical have made a revenue stream for
itself, I imagine everybody else trying to copy it. No one will ever accuse
the GNU/Linux desktop of not being innovative again!

It doesn't really seem that innovative at all to me. MobileMe from Apple has been doing this and more for quite a long time, and there has been other services to sync various things (many for file storage, address books, etc).
I'll take privacy over innovation

When I sit down at my computer, I don't think to myself "Oh, I hope the applications I'm using are innovative".
My privacy, on the other hand, is something I do think about.
