Well, todays World Wide developers Convention was a hit for Apple and Steve Jobs. Not only did they Announce the iPhone 2.0, as well as a major price reduction of the phone, but they also announced their new syncronizing service called MobileMe.
What Mobileme is, is a service which will run you $99 per year which will synchronize your iPhone / iPod tough to your Macintosh Computer or even PC. As a member you will have 20 Gigabytes of storage. Yes MobileMe works with both OS X and Windows operating systems. In affect this new service, which in my opinion works brilliantly will give its users a sort of organized Web home for all of their important stuff. This is a major step for apple into the cloud computing realm and actually puts them in competition with Google and Microsoft right off the bat with very little effort on their part. You can synchronize your calender, emails and contacts within seconds. Starting in July you will be able to get a 60 day free trial of MobileMe. .Mac has been discontinued. The website for this new service can be found at Me.com or http://www.apple.com/mobileme.

Apple Iphone 2.0 at WWDC
Today at 10am PT, or 1pm EST Apple will be giving us all several important announcements. What Are they? No one can be 100% certain. Most speculate that Apple will announce a new iPhone, iPhone 2.0. The new Phone will be very similar to the first iPhone, however put to use 3G internet. Most users complain that AT&T’s Edge network is too slow for good internet use on the phone. A 3G upgrade will give the iPhone broadband like speeds.
Other experts speculate that the price of the iPhone may be reduced today at the WWDC. Apples CEO, Steve Jobs always, has a surprise or two up his sleeve when it comes to pricing. Many speculate that the phone price may be reduced as low as $199, or $299. We will have to wait an see for sure. One thing we know for sure is that the buzz leading up to the WWDC key note speech by Jobs is sure to keep us all guessing up to the very last minute. A $199 price tag is sure to bring in a ton of new subscribers worldwide, especially those who could not rationalize spending $400 for a cell phone. It should also be intresting to see if Apple has any changes in store for its iPod touch or Mac Computers, and if the iPhone will have built in GPS.
