As many have feared, Apple introduced MobileMe as the successor to .Mac service. MobileMe will be available for Mac and Windows OS, where .Mac only supports Mac OS.
MobileMe retails for:
- $99 for Single User
- $149 for Family Pack (The MobileMe Family Pack is an individual MobileMe subscription plus four Family Member Accounts, each with its own email address, iDisk folder, and 5GB of online storage space (40GB total online storage).)
MobileMe works with applications such as:
- Microsoft Outlook on a PC.
- Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac.
- Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on your iPhone or iPod touch.
MobileMe also enables members to access and manage email, contacts, calendar, photos, and files at me.com.
Features:
- 20GB of online storage space, double the current .Mac storage space.
- @me.com email address
- Push email, calendar, and contacts.
- Current .Mac members will be automatically upgraded to MobileMe service. In addition to that, .Mac members will retain @mac.com email as they can create new email @me.com.
- Available for Mac OS X and Windows OS
Minimum Web browser requirements for me.com applications:
Notes:
www.me.com redirects to www.apple.com/mobileme
me.com is not yet active.
Since me.com does support Firefox 2, does this mean it can also be used under Linux?
