MobileOrg does not handle large files (>700k)

This issue is fixed in 1.1+.

MobileOrg complains about checksum.dat and keeps on failing with no hint to why.

You likely started to use Org-Mode the same time you started to use MobileOrg. Very
likely your org-agenda-files list is empty. Therefore org-mobile-push will not push any
.org file for synchronization. And what ever you do nothing will show up in the MobileOrg
Folder in your DropBox. Here are my notes made while trying to resolve the strange
issue http://gist.github.com/605245

Obviously this is a non-issue if you were an org-mode user already. If you just happen
to start using org-mode and MobileOrg partially because you were looking for a TODO
like app on the AppStore and were using Emacs but not org-mode yet, this issue might
be at your hand.

Maybe MobileOrg could detect this? If there is just nothing but an empty mobileorg.org
and stock index.org provide a more helpful note that there seem to be no agenda files?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ll identify this state and let the user know what next step to take, it should be in the next release.
