One of the planned offerings is mobile synchronisation (via the SyncML found in most handsets capable of synchronisation). I'm not sure how client side encryption would work with that.

But all the client code is free software, so if you didn't care about the mobile sync feature you could implement something like this.

Hm, actually Tahoe-LAFS might fit into that use case pretty well... But again I'm pushing my own
idea here when this thread is about Canonical's UbuntuOne. If you are interested in exploring
privacy-compatible storage and sync and then maybe join the tahoe-dev mailing list. :-)
