MobileMe and Me.com and the iPhone
By Aaron Besson at 9 June, 2008, 5:27 pm
Introducing MobileMe from Apple, new service for your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. It is the new simple way to keep everything up to date. It’s .Mac on steroids and will soon seamlessly replace it entirely.
Here are some of the features taken from the Apple’s website to give you a better idea of what MobileMe is all about, for the complete feature list and overview, please visit Apples website.
Push email. Push contacts. Push calendar.
“Now your email finds you anywhere, so you’ll never miss an important message.”
MobileMe stores all your email, contacts, and calendars on a secure online server — or “cloud” — and pushes them down to your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. When you make a change on one device, the cloud updates the others. Push happens automatically, instantly, and continuously. You don’t have to wait for it or remember to do anything — such as docking your iPhone and syncing manually — to stay up to date.
Your web applications at me.com.
Check your email, change your calendar, edit your contacts, and more at me.com. Accessible anywhere, me.com is an ad-free suite of web applications — Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery, and iDisk — that are elegant and easy to use. You can drag and drop, click and drag, use keyboard shortcuts, and even switch between applications with a single click. Me.com is such a great web experience, it seems as if you’re using desktop software
Works with the native applications you know.
Do everything you need to do on every device you own. MobileMe works with Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac; Microsoft Outlook on a PC with Windows XP or Vista; and the built-in applications on your iPhone or iPod touch
Everything keeps up with you.
Wherever you go, your email, contacts, calendar, and Safari bookmarks are always up to date. Add a contact or change your calendar on your iPhone or iPod touch, and it’s instantly updated on your Mac and PC and on the web at me.com. Whether you’re on the road, at work, at home, or at an Internet cafe, the same information follows you.
Push mail.
MobileMe pushes new mail over the air to your iPhone or iPod touch automatically. You’re notified the second a new message arrives so you don’t have to spend time checking. As you read, flag, delete, or file messages, every change is pushed to your computer and your me.com mail application. And you’re in sync no matter where you check your inbox.

Your photos never looked better.
Friends and family can view your photos in a beautiful gallery using a web browser on a Mac or PC. They can skim albums to see what’s inside, select an album, and choose viewing options such as mosaic, carousel, or slideshow. And with automatic resizing, your photos adjust instantly to fit the browser window so they always look great, even on large displays.
