This is a new service for your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. It's the simple way to keep everything up to date. MobileMe is essentially the re-branded replacement for Apple's .Mac data-sharing service.
MobileMe stores all your email, contacts, and calendars on an 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. By pushing information to the "cloud," MobileMe provides users the ability to sync email, calendars, contacts, and photos in almost real-time.
MobileMe service will cost the same $99/year that the .Mac service was priced at, but will arguably offer even more functionality. The MobileMe web application allows drag-and-drop simplicity in managing mail, calendar, and contact entries from any computer - with 20GB of online storage to boot. Any changes to data from a computer or iPhone will immediately be pushed to the cloud where it will then be pushed to all other connected devices. That means MobileMe users will get push-everything.
MobileMe works with the applications you know well. Microsoft Outlook on a PC. Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac. And Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on your iPhone or iPod touch. More information about Apple's MobileMe Service for data sharing is available from the guided tour website.
