Apple released a promotional video on Apple.com illustrating the convenient new MobileMe. They have marketed it as “Exchange for the rest of us.”
MobileMe is a secure online server that holds your email, calendar, address book, photos, and files pushing your most current information to all of our devices. MobileMe will work with your Mac, iPhone, PC while also giving you the option to access your information from online from any computer in any location. Web applications can be accessed through Me.com where icons for your mail, address book, calendar, photos, files and account settings are readily available upon login. This means even on your trip to Mexico you can access all your information from any hotel internet center and photos on MobileMe are accessible through Apple TV creating beautiful slide shows of your pictures. The instructional video illustrating every possible feature is on Apple’s website at: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/guidedtour/index.html?size=medium
While Apple only talks about the consumer benefits of such a product the business benefits are obvious. Try MobileMe for free for 60 days or purchase 20GB of space on the secured server for $99 a year. A family plan is also available for $149 a year for 4 people with 40GB of space.
