I awoke this morning to the chatter on the net about WWDC and the iPhone. Nothing we didn;t expect. All and all very boring. Later today I thought I would look at me.com (mobileme) another less noted announcement at WWDC.
Now this is where the story is, and it appears most of the internet have overlooked it.
see me.com and the online demo at HERE. (http://www.apple.com/mobileme/guidedtour/)
Ad the new focus on business (See HERE http://www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise/)
mobileme is a direct attempt of Apple to jump into the Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Web2.0 space.
Online Email, Calandar, Contacts and File share. This is an attempt similar to the Microsoft deal of software and services. Ie unlike Google and applications online, Microsoft push Local Applications with internet services.
This is likely only the start. What are we to expect next? OSX been given away just so end users use the Apple Internet Apllication services @$100 per year? A trend Microsoft is heading towards?
Comments please…

Hi James
I think you are correct in where apple is heading. But I also think, apple are going to compete with sony, with the psp, that now the iphone is able to play games, and has opengl capability.
