MobileMe from "first hand"

MacRadar offer readers a little preview of the much-anticipated review web service MobileMe. We remind you that this service is a modernized .mac. MobileMe allows synchronizing data between different machines.

iCal is incredibly easy to use and is very similar to its offline parent. To make a new event in kaledar need to allocate space of time, and double click (easy and can not be).

It is also possible to correct (if you make a mistake during the registration) Personal information, set your time zone (by default, of course, Cupertino), Change the password and the data for payment, set quotas on disk space. You can also set a personal domain (

Subscription to MobileMe for one person costs € 79, and a family pack costs € 119. More information and video reviews available on Apple's official website.
