We are likely to see most information appliances participate in synchronization of personal data. Thus, you add a person to your mobile phone's address book and when you next do a synch, the person's details are added to the address book on your PDA, laptop, desktop, music play (e.g., iPod), and other information appliances you own. Initially, you might have to initiate the synchronization, but eventually it should become invisible.
