To me it means kind of a jumble of Dropbox and Google Docs.

I have files, and them to be accessible from ANYWHERE -- my home PC,
my laptop, a public PC, my friend's PC at their house, my grandma's
PC. I don't want to have to install anything, so it'll probably be
web-based, but I'd like to edit them -- say if they are text files --
without having to install anything either.

Possible application: I track my expenses in a simple text file...
when I buy a hot dog from a street-meat vendor, I want to be able to
pull out my cell phone and quickly add "$3.50 -- hot dog" to my list.
(hmm, what if I don't have a data plan, that addition fits in 140
chars...)
