Mobileme is available for $99 a year (like
.Mac), and will have a 60 day free trial. 20GB of iDisk space is also

mobileme whenever they want.

Now Phil’s going through a process of
getting an email with a lunch invite, which then loads up Google Maps
of the restaurant. He saved the contact of the restaurant on the phone.

pushed to all his devices with the correct “read” state. He also sees
the contact that he created on the phone–the same one he just
created–on the computer.
