For many people, it won't be about how "cool" it is, Dave. There is a genuinely useful business case here. Let's say I'm a Mail, iCal, and iPhoto user running a small business. And let's say my laptop dies. What then? Unless I've backed everything up every day, I'm at risk for losing a huge amount of ... stuff. Personal photos, email to clients, extensive email archives, my entire schedule, etc. If it's all online, there's no problem. Currently, I use Google Apps for my business. Gmail, Gcal, etc — and it all gets synced up to my iPhone and I can wander the streets of NYC for 3 days and conduct all sorts of business without ever touching my laptop. MobileMail offers the same things (plus photos, minus docs), and it offers all this with Apple interfaces, which are way simpler than Google Apps. It's all the stuff I love about Apple's desktop apps, but online, where I need it. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
