Excellent question :)
Mobile Sync will indeed will be a challenge (and great opportunity).
We want to stay away from hosting a users data, so the sync will be a little bit problematic without providing servers that host all the data for them. We have not solved this problem entirely.
In general, we aim for a completely decentralised system that provides every user with an own server that handles all that. But that's some future stuff.
You can read about that in this issue: #43
Import/export/manual backup is not so much a problem. You would just export a JSON file and reimport it into another client.
Indeed we will design the application interoperably, means that can always switch the client and still use your old database.
This will indeed come quite soon in the future.

Only a little bit? what are your alternatives if you don't provide servers.

We just want to stay away from doing the hosting as much as possible.
This doesn't rule out that we don't provide a hosting service for those user's who don't care all too much that we would host their data encrypted.
But we try to get around that and follow our promise of leaving the user in full control over their data and to contribute to a more decentralised and privacy sensitive internet infrastructure. This by working towards userfriendly self hosting.
Alternatives would be to either provide the firmware and the seamless setup process for users to set up their own servers (f.e. amazon) or collaborate with projects like the IPDB to organise a collective, encrypted and decentralised hosting.
Or building plug ins for personal cloud hosting services like owncloud.

Okay that requires a lot of time... So I think import/export will come in next 6 months and after that sync will come.

yeah, within 6 months sounds realistic.
