In iCal on your Macs, if you go to iCal > Preferences > Account Information … 
do you have your correct  CalDAV information and Refresh Calendars: Push?
And in ‘Advanced’ do you have enabled “Automatically retrieve CalDAV 
invitations from Mail?

Click the ‘Calendars’ button, do you have all your calendars selected?

Your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place 
will be visible immediately. 
If this is not happening then these Apple Tech Notes provide instructions:

Well, you can’t move to iCloud if you have an iPhone 3G as it is limited to 
iOS4.3 and iCloud requires iOS5. 
The iPhone 3G S can run iOS5 but not the iPhone 3G.
