MobileMe browser requirements page found

by Cory Bohon Jun 23rd 2008 at 7:30PM

Joining in on the conversation about tonight's .Mac outage, reader Chad sent us a link to a page he discovered on .Mac. He said that while trying to access his .Mac service on his iPhone, he was redirected to a MobileMe browser requirements page. One of the suspicious things on the page is the fact that "calendar" is spelled wrong (i.e. "calender"). You can see a screen grab of the page after the break.

The page in question shows Safari as the top browser to use, followed by Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7. On last night's talkcast (MP3 Link) Michael Rose, Robert Palmer, and I talked about the possibility of Apple marketing the Safari browser for Windows users through the MobileMe service. It looks as if that guess is true.

Thanks, Chad!


Update: Apple has updated the page (see new screenshot after the break).

What will happen to existing .Mac users? Will the cost go up for the upgrade to MobileMe?

I guess that you mean - spelled WRONGLY?
If you're going to criticize someone's spelling, at least do so with correct grammar.

What about Opera? My guess is that the service will work perfectly fine in Opera 9.5. Only time will show.

Anyone else have a problem with the iDisk in FF 3? I click on it and it opens a new window that is just blank.

There was a talkcast last night? I tried dialing in several times and got nothing but silence.

Hi FRD -- yes, we tried to do a show last night, but Talkshoe had a 4-hour outage. :-(

We recorded a bloggers-only call and it's posted on Talkshoe now.

Again right now, when I go to http://webmail.mac.com on my iPhone, I get the Recommended Browsers page. I don't see any update as above screenshots indicate.
