Along with launching iPhone 2.0, the company has rebranded its .Mac online service today, adding syncing features aimed at iPhone and PC users in addition to the Mac.
Called MobileMe, the new service offers push e-mail, calendars, and contacts for users, keeping that information up-to-date whether they're viewing a computer or an iPhone.
The web-based MobileMe will work with the iPhone's mail, calendar, and contacts applications in addition to working with Mail, iCal, and Address book on the Mac and Outlook on the PC - in other words, a direct challenge to Microsoft's territory.
Some have dubbed this feature as ‘Exchange for the masses," and with its new interface, it will have a similar experience when using the Web applications as with desktop software.
