The same functionality the Kindle/Nook apps provide across OSX and iOS but for Safari. It would be nice to have resume and versions for the productivity apps across OSX and iOS, as well.

Especially, for Safari and productivity apps like Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc. That way I can pick up reading what I started in the morning at home on my commute to work. In addition, I wouldn’t need physical memory to transfer my documents along and all documents would include all versions, as well.

And unless you use your various Macs the exact same way it is sometimes more of an annoyance to have settings synched. I turned it off for my Air as I do not use that like I do my Mac that has a much larger display. As an example I would auto-hide the dock on the Air only to have that replicated everywhere else.

I've been doing something similar to this for a while manually but it's been a pain, I love that someone finally made an app for it. This should be on the App Store! This is awesome!
