Mobile Me – Exchange For The Rest Of Us

June 9, 2008

MM apple

Yep, Mobile Me was real after all! It’s basically Microsoft Exchange, but for normal people; all of the features are here… Push email, contacts and calanders, as well as a ton of other little things. For example, say you have a date in your calander on your Mac… If you change it on the Mac, it’ll automatically update on your iPhone. That’s basically how the whole thing works – pretty cool!

There will also be a web based application where you can access everything from any web browser.

Update on browser application: Very impressive AJAX application, looks just like a desktop application. There are web based versions of all the typical apps; iCal, mail, etc. Changes made on the web are automatically pushed to all other devices (Macs, iPhone, etc).

There will be a 60 day free trial of the service.

Mobile Me replaces .Mac completely – current members will automatically upgraded to the new service.

More details as they come.
