Apple's MobileMe, a collection of cloud services designed to support Macs and other Apple devices, has been given a makeover that makes it look and in some ways behave more like an iPhone app than a Mac program.
The first thing a user will notice is that the row of icons for the different functions -- e-mail, contacts, calendar, image gallery, iDisk online storage, and Find My iPhone for tracking a missing iPhone or iPad -- has been replaced by a single cloud icon.
Click on that, and a new band of large icons appears across the middle of the browser window. It looks a lot like the row of app icons on an iPhone or iPad.
As for new features, most of the attention has been lavished on the webmail service. Users now get a choice of three views: widescreen, with mailboxes on the left; compact, with mailboxes hidden; and classic, the three-pane view familiar from most e-mail clients.
Other features are accessed from a row of buttons across the top of the window.
For more new features, see Page 2.
