The cloud sync does sound nice. Don't think it is something I would use personally, but it does sound cool. I would at least give it a try if it was available to see how I liked it. I use IMAP already for email and syncing docs and such I just do when I sync with my computer when I get home each day.
As far as the interface goes, what Microsoft needs to do, and this is what Apple has already done with their SDK is have strict rules about developing applications and following a graphic standard. Don't limit developers from making apps that compete with what Microsoft has created for the phone (e.g. Apple wont let devs make a web browser to compete with Safari and sell it in the AppStore) but make the developers follow a standard for how their applications look. This just ends up making everything on the phone look good. That is one of the major problems I see with Windows Mobile... Every App looks different... There really isn't any kind of standard for putting the "Settings" button here and the this and that there. It's all just mixed up cause ever dev thinks he can do it better than the next guy. It just ends up being a mixed up puzzle which in turn makes it all look terrible and work even worse.
I really hope Microsoft does something better. As much as I love what I can do with with my Windows Mobile device, I'm pretty sick of the clunky interface. I shouldn't have to buy a ton of 3rd party apps to make my device usable. I use Wisbar Advance, Wisbar Advance Desktop and Resco Keyboard Pro to make my device at least finger friendly like the iPhone, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the magic Apple did with OSX Mobile or whatever the OS is called on there.
