  • Meet Mobile Me

    Mobile Me is Apple’s Exchange equivalent, provides push email, contacts, and calendar.

    Works with a Mac, PC, and of course the iPhone. Wireless syncing is a go.

    Supports Outlook on the PC, and everything on the Mac.

    Has web based access to everything through Me.com. Web interface is amazingly slick, probably runs like crap on low-end DSL connections.

    $99 a year for 20GB account, free trial available in July.

    .Mac is being replaced.

  • iPhone 2.0 Software

    Early July is the release time frame for the iPhone 2.0 software.

    Upgrade will be free for iPhone users, $9.95 for iPod touch users.

    Steve pretty much just confirmed the 3G iPhone, says apps from the App Store that are 10MB and under can be downloaded over a cellular network… Oh really? Tried that on Edge recently?

  • Snow Leopard Confirmed

  • WWDC Rumors

    WWDC is tomorrow, and as always speculation and rumors are making the rounds like wildfire on the internet.

    My WWDC predictions?

    1. Much to my disappointment, there will be no Apple Tablet released or announced.
    2. 3G iPhone will be announced, but not available until later this month. Launch of 3G iPhone will also see a 32GB model introduced.
    3. iPhone 2.0 software will be demoed and likely released.
    4. MacBook Pros may see a refresh.
    5. 10.6 might get a mention, but I’m not at all confident of this.

    What are your predictions?
