You've built a what? (Seriously, I had to take a look at the site to see what it was... how many others didn't bother?)
If I were you, I'd focus right now on the iPhone fanboys. A big issue you will have is that the iPhone hasn't really found a home in the business world yet. (And may never, although you may help that :-)
I'd focus on the Apple using web designer crowd. These folks love their iPhones and gadgets in general, and have the small freelance businesses that would find need in the product.
I'd ignore all the rest and just focus on them. Keep in mind as well that you aren't doing anything new outside of the iPhone market. (I can already run all my MS docs on a palm, smartphone etc.) There is definitely a need for the early adopters though.
RE: "you aren't doing anything new outside of the iPhone market" -- actually, there doesn't exist anywhere on the smartphone market the ability to wirelessly 2-way doc sync with the web and your computer. That's what we've built so can apply it to iPhone, Blackberry, etc.
Sorry, I missed the web part. Yes that would be unique, although I'm not sold on it's value. Why would I want my documents on your site when I've already got them on my phone and on my computer? What's the value add there? Backup? Sharing? I get the feeling that the only reason for this is that both my PC and my Phone are clients to the "master copy" on your server.
I do like the personal PC sync though, that's pretty nifty.
(EDIT: You know, back in the day there was no way in the world my comment would be downmodded. A shame.)
I agree with your point (and with the EDIT). All the big guys (google, MS, yahoo, ...) want to host our files these days, and they provide us with sharing, storage and simple editing facilities for docs and pics. They also do communications, calendaring, news and blogs, etc. I think SMBs will want to use that infrastructure and the big issue will be (as usual) integration.
So, terpua, don't add your servers to the picture in terms of where the files live. That just adds complexity and another point of failure. I'd much rather you help me sync my devices with those services or the services among each other. Sure, this is being done already, but there are a gazillion special cases that people will need support for, and a lot of them involve syncing. I would try to find a few of those cases and make your solution simple for end users to understand.
You may be doing some of this already but I can't tell from the info on your website. There should be an exhaustive feature list on your website.
