Mobile ME!

The other day I went to Apple's website, as I often do since it is still my default home page, and I saw the ad for their new Mobile Me service. At the time I thought, this looks really cool, but I have to sign up for yet another service? Don't get me wrong, the service seemed like everything I could ever want. After a major computer crash recently I realize the value of having all my contacts and other information in an easily accessible place. I also liked the idea of being able to have the same information available to every device. Still, it wasn't something I wanted to think about right now, so I gave it no more thought.

Tonight I got a surprise. Lo and behold, in my .Mac mailbox was a message. If you're a .Mac user you already know what it said, but if you're not, this kind of thing doesn't happen everyday. Basically, starting in July, all .Mac member accounts will be upgraded to Mobile Me! How cool is that?



Needless to say, I am extremely happy. I plan to do some very serious traveling soon and this is exactly the kind of thing I need. I am planning to add a Macbook pro to my Mac and iPhone arsenal so this announcement couldn't have come at a better time.
