I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's noticed this yet - but I was checking from my computer, iPhone & iPad for application updates as I usually do each afternoon and my MBP iTunes told me I had one app update, I clicked to check what update it was and it said it was for the MobileMe iDisk; unlike before, it was now showing the '+' icon, denoting that it is iPhone AND iPad compatible. I hit the update app button but it kept telling me that the item was no longer available....I tried to click on the MobileMe icon to take me the app page in the AppStore and it replied with a prompt stating that this item was not available in the US Store...I tried to run the update from my iPhone and same thing, 'item no longer available'...I tried to access the AppStore listing for iDisk from the AppStore on my iPad and after searching, it showed iDisk for both the Pad & Phone but trying to click on either icon in the store once again gave me the 'item no longer available' message. I went back to the iTunes on my computer, still showing that I had 1 update awaiting me...instead, this time, I clicked the 'Download All Free Updates' button at the upper left and it did download the update this time, which I've installed on both my iPhone & iPad...

They should really improve everything on that expensive iMovie app. (it's great and all) but need more things to edit with.
Effects and Transitions, and some way we could split clips...

Very nice news. Simple enough application. Glad it is finally here.

hmm, i am a little disappointed that i can't open RTF into pages. I am fully aware that i can just keep pages docs...but rtfs are nice in their flexibility.

+1 this + the fact that Apple is working hard on their iDisk apps sounds really good to me, this is going to be a no brainer very soon

Nice! Apple seem to be putting a lot of effort in to the mobile me apps on iOS, which is really exciting. Being able to sync more stuff between Mac and iPad will only make it more useful.

I can't wait to be able to sync notes with iOS4, mind.

Great Apple, now that Gallery and iDisk have seen updates can we please get an update to Remote for the iPad. And not just a fix to the 1x-2x problem, but a complete UI overhaul for the iPad to take advantage of the screen real estate.
