14 DAY TRIAL // MobileMe users are reporting that Apple has sent them a warm e-mail announcing that the Push feature has been restored to the service, and is working properly. Push issues have long been plaguing both MobileMe subscribers, as well as Apple's developer community.
An excerpt from the e-mail sent out to MobileMe subscribers reads, “Faster syncing with Mac and PC. Changes you make to contacts and calendars on your Mac (Address Book and iCal) or PC (Microsoft Outlook) are now automatically pushed up to the cloud every time you make an update. Likewise, changes you make on me.com, iPhone, or iPod touch are automatically pushed to your Mac or PC. As a result, your contacts and calendars update faster across all your devices. To take advantage of faster syncing, be sure you're running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 (Mac) or MobileMe Control Panel 1.3 (Windows).”
For Windows users, the MobileMe Control Panel is required to set up and manage MobileMe syncing and manage iDisk settings on a Windows PC. Recently updated to version 1.3, the MobileMe Control Panel now delivers faster syncing of contacts and calendars between MobileMe and Microsoft Outlook. With this update, contacts and calendars automatically sync whenever a change is made in Outlook, according to Apple, as well as when a change is made on the web or from another device. Additionally, a new tray icon now indicates whenever an automatic sync is in progress.
