However, I thought the view was that they had abandoned the idea of using it... until people noticed recently that Apple seemed to have bought Me.com around Dec 2007. It will be interesting to see how well MobileMe works. It's a good idea, though, for them to offer push e-mail/calendaring/contacts. So, it will be all about the execution - people go crazy, for example, if there is any downtime with their e-mail. You’re right - MobleMe was first registered by Apple in 2006.

Think at one time they where thinking of launching iPhone as an MVNO operator and they bought a data centre, but obviously much better if someone like Google doing the backend - not sure how they're doing MobileMe now, not sure if the back end was mentioned. Waiting for the Quicktime A/V stream now.... Me and MobileMe trademarks where obtained by Apple several years ago that’s why everyone knew it was coming.
