What kind of consistency do you expect to provide with this future syncing feature? I assume it will be eventually consistent. Is that right? How will conflicts be resolved?

Yes, on mobile sync really only make sense if also works when the device has spotty or no connectivity, so that naturally entails eventual consistency in some form.

We are not ready to into details about how our sync solution will work yet, but watch out for some announcements soon.
