The cool thing about using SQLite as a basis for sync is that it leverages all that we know re: RDBMS merging, syncing and conflict resolution at scale. And, from a skills perspective, leverages our team's existing knowledge in SQL.

We have use cases where mobile devices may be offline for minutes at a time (in hotels and conference halls where wireless is either sketchy or un-usably slow). I can definitely see us using this. I may check out the Couch thing as well, although we use Cassandra for NoSQL scenarios.
