Today Apple demoed the much anticipated MobileMe application that we were tipped to last month. Currently, we were correct in what we thought would be the features list:Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

Beyond the excellence of this for friends and families Apple has released a fully credible alternative to Microsoft's license-heavy platform for small businesses at a fraction of the cost.
And it even gives Google Apps a run for its money.
Way to go Apple!

Yay! We still get to keep our @mac.com addresses after the transition!
Thank you apple. I was scared for a moment.

Hey, I missed that part...are you sure we get to keep our .Mac addresses??
PSM said 3:12PM on 6-09-2008
It says that on the website.
But what I want to know is, since I have to wait an agonizing 32 days to get an iPhone, can I have push on my WinMo phone from MobileMe?
Teo said 3:23PM on 6-09-2008
And no, you have to wait for MobileMe to launch for you to start getting push e-Mail...

MobileMe is what FirstClass was offering seven years ago. Apple tried to buy FirstClass in the 90s but instead offered up Apple Powermail servers that couldn't compete.
Everything MobileMe does, I was doing with FirstClass and my Blackberry and my Mac seven years ago.

Oddly enough me.com isn't live yet. It was previously owned by SnappVille, err, I think Me.com owned SNAPP! and once they sold me.com to Apple, they moved to snappville. Still, it's odd that Apple doesn't have the new site up yet.

I wish we got to keep @mac.com

I am disappointed by lack of feature and/or capacity limited free offering, especially with competitors (e.g., Google, Microsoft) giving similar products away. I realize it costs Apple money to develop these web apps, but I would not mind seeing ads in its place.

I wish they would have the webmail and few other apps sync capabilities to their own server plat form... (10.5 server)... i am tired of using squirlmail...

This is pretty much everything .Mac should've been. 20GB is nice.

Just got the e-mail that says we get to keep our @mac.com suffix! Or we can choose to use the @me.com, the choice is ours.
