There’s a lot of other good stuff that comes with a MobileMe account. For
example, you can upload pictures and movies to one of the best gallery
sites on the Web. Stunning slideshows greet your visitors; your audience
can, at your option, even download your photo files at full resolution for
printing. You also get an iDisk, a virtual, multigigabyte hard drive where
you can park, back up, or transfer files that are too big to send by email.
This chapter, though, concerns what MobileMe can do for you, the iPhone
owner.
The Setup
There’s a bit of setup involved in getting all of this magic syncing to happen.
For starters, you need pretty recent stuff: on the Mac, the latest version of Mac
OS X 10.4 or 10.5, for example. To visit the Web-based versions of your address
book, calendar, and email, you need Safari 3 or Firefox 3 (or later versions),
either for Mac or Windows. The most popular browser in the world, Internet
Explorer, is “not fully supported.” (It’s slower, and not all of the features work.)
MobileMe can keep your computer’s mail, address book, and calendar in sync
only if you use certain compatible programs:
• Macintosh. You have to use the built-in Mail, Address Book, and iCal
programs.
Windows Vista.
• You can use Outlook (mail, address book, and calendar),
Windows Mail (mail), and Windows Contacts (address book).
