Apple announced it's newest application yesterday...it's called "MobileMe".  This announcement was greatly overshadowed by the highly anticipated announcement of the new iPhone G3, but this newest application did not fall on deaf ears.

It seems as if though Apple has been watching my business specifically.  You see I have a Mac Powerbook, an office PC, and now very soon an iPhone.  The constant juggling of email applications, calendars, documents, etc. can get a little difficult.

I have a Microsoft Exchange server in my office, though we have never really fully configured our server to take full advantage of all that it's capable of.  I have toyed with Google Apps, which is sweet, but there are still apps on my mac that I like better (iCal), so it was still not the total solution I was looking for.

However, now with MobilMe being rolled it, I think I can have everything I want.

I will now be able to sync my email between my MacMail on my powerbook, and Oultook on my PC.  If I add a contact or appointment to my iPhone it will automatically be placed in both my Outlook and iCal calendars, not to mention I can access all of this information online from any computer just by logging in to my MobileMe account.

I really think that a lot of people are overlooking this application...however I assure you that both Google and Microsoft will be looking at it very closely...as Steve Jobs called it..."it's Exchange for the rest of us".
