Apple Launches Beta Version of Enhanced MobileMe Calendar Web Application
In mid-May, Apple launched a beta version of a revised MobileMe Mail web application. The updated version went live along with an update application switcher in mid-June.
Mail is not the only MobileMe web application getting an overhaul, however, as Apple has announced a similar beta program for a revamped Calendar web application. As with the Mail beta, testing of the new Calendar application requires that users request an invitation through the MobileMe site, and Apple will be rolling out invites over the next several weeks.
The Calendar beta includes a new web application at me.com with great-looking calendar views. You'll find redesigned day, week, and month views, as well as a new list view to make scanning your events easier. Your calendars will also load faster, thanks to improved performance. The new web application works best with Safari 5, Firefox 3.6, and Internet Explorer 8.
Other improvements include new tools for sharing calendars among MobileMe members, publication of read-only public calendars viewable by anyone, event invitations with RSVPs, and compatibility with the CalDAV standard to allow viewing and editing on calendar applications on both Macs and Apple's iOS devices.Apple has posted several support documents about the Calendar beta, including an FAQ and a list of known issues.

Although that will then open up the problem of how to placate those who recently subscribed at the old price.
Every time they update Mobile Me it looks a little bit more tempting until I get to the price, I really hope a significant cut is on the way.

Agreed, but they can always send us refunds.
I love the new look as well. Can't wait to see a new iDisk @ me.com

I don't know - I think really it's pretty good value money already - especially if you have an iPhone as the Find My iPhone feature is great and I use my iDisk a lot on my phone and from other machines. I really like the alias feature on the email addresses too - that way you can hide your real email address if required for reasons of spam etc.
Shop around as well - I've not paid full price ever for MobileMe.

Didn't they already update the iDisk portion? They redesigned it to be more "MobileMe" a few months ago.

Where are you picking MobileMe up for cheap? Ebay? I'm always wary of those deals... maybe I should look again?

I got mine from some guy in Australia. Cost me £35 instead of £59 and he emailed me the code. :)
