As others have said, Dropbox is a good solution although Dropbox is a file synchronization solution, not a data synchronization solution. I have been researching this myself. The Dropbox API is pretty easy to use and VoodooPad 5 uses it to sync Flying Meat: VoodooPad 5.0 Released. If you were to use Dropbox, I suggest using the API and integrating support rather than relying on Dropbox to correctly sync your data. I have run into many data corruption problems doing that.
These all appear to work with CoreData so they might not help
