Apple Revamps .Mac: MobileMe Announced

As rumored, Apple has announced MobileMe, described by Apple Vice President for product marketing Phil Schiller as "Exchange for the rest of us."
Not all of us work in an enterprise... Not all of us have access to an exchange server. Now with MobileMe, we all can have access to those features. [...] MobileMe is Exchange for the rest of us. --Phil Schiller
Features
- Push Email, calendar, and contacts
- Synchronization between iPhone, Mac and PC (Outlook for Windows integration)
- "Desktop-like" Web Applications for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, photo gallery, and iDisk online storage available via me.com.
MobileMe replaces .Mac and will be available in early July for $99/year, with a 60 day free trial available.
Update: Apple has posted a guided tour.

(View all)still $99?!?
If you want to pay full retail, I guess. I'm sure you can get it on eBay and Amazon for the usual $20-$30 off.Anybody have any idead about when it will be released:rolleyes:
None of the live blogs mentioned it, so I guess Phil never said when?Here's hoping that Apple will continue to allow our email to be addressed as username@mac.com instead of username@me.com or username@mobileme.com.
I also like the service idea, but hate the name. It really is a tacky name.
Here's hoping that Apple will continue to allow our email to be addressed as username@mac.com instead of username@me.com or username@mobileme.com.
