It appears that the Get it Now applications of the Back up Assistant and the
Lock Box do the same thing.  Does anyone know the difference and has anyone
downloaded and used these applications?  Thanks

While I can't comment on the individual applications, I can give you
some guidelines for evaluating them.

- Look for a privacy policy.  Can they sell your information?
- Look at how you can get a copy of your data.  Say for example
  you lose your phone and move to one they don't support, can
  you get a your data back so you can manually enter it.
- Look at how you are charged (is it a flat fee, per phone,
  per backup, per restore)
- See if you can change the data over the web
- See if you can control the backup schedule, especially if the
  backup/restore process uses airtime
- Look for what happens if you lose your username/password/pin.
  The easier it is to get your data back, the easier it is for
  someone pretending to be you :-)
- Look at how easily you can share data.  If your partner also
  has the service, can you share contacts.  Can one of you make
  a change that you both see.
