sync LC applications

[Mike Kerner]

I use dropbox for this purpose.  I have a desktop/server process that is
responsible for being the arbiter of truth (i.e. grabbing the updates the
mobiles want to make and then deciding updating the data that the mobiles
will use).  The mobiles read and write files to and from dropbox.  You can
ping the server from the mobile once per second, for example, to see if
there are any updates.  Push works, but can be unreliable if the user of
the phone turns off push.  You can use push without having a notification
to the user or setting a badge.  The app will receive the notification and
act on it, provided that the app is up and running on the phone.  I've used
this technique for five years, I think.  You can do the same thing using an
online database server, if you like.

-- 
On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
