The title says it all – check out the mIQ app from BestBuy – its on the market and its free. \u00c2\u00a0What does it do? \u00c2\u00a0Have you heard of carbonite or mozy? \u00c2\u00a0Automated, real time backups for your phones pictures, videos, text messages, calendar, and contacts.<\/p>\n

Ok – I’ll give a quick review, even though I’m not sure you need it – I don’t want or need my phone to backup my calendar, contacts, or email – they are all in the cloud already because like you, I’m using google services for those. \u00c2\u00a0Text messages are cool to be backed up – but now if you don’t backup your contacts, the text messages will only display phone numbers which is worthless…<\/p>\n

Pictures – flawless backups – it just works.<\/p>\n

Video – works great – as long as your videos are less than say 10 seconds or so. \u00c2\u00a0This is because of the 20 meg size limit on videos. \u00c2\u00a0This issue is a big one for me – I’ve contacted the app support team and submitted several feature requests – this is at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Last but not least of the short\u00c2\u00a0comings\u00c2\u00a0– it only allows for 1 gig of space! \u00c2\u00a0Yes, I know, your phone has an 8, 16, or maybe even a 32 gig memory card – 1 gig isn’t going to cut it. \u00c2\u00a0Currently this no option for a premium plan allowing greater uploads or higher memory.<\/p>\n

Regardless of these short comings – this app is amazingly simple to setup and use and best of all – it just works. \u00c2\u00a0Give it a try – soon, you won’t need to plug your phone into your laptop to use it… :o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
