Well have you updated your iPhone to MobileMe? If not then you should, because Apple has given MobileMe a new look and has added several improvements to it, including the ability to use an iPhone to find a lost iPad and vice a versa. Besides, the price for Apple’s cloud-based service remains the same, which still costs $99.
Though many improvements have been made, still the basic amongst them is the The “Find My iPhone” app, which allows users to locate a lost iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, via Apple cloud-based service. Apple has also added on Me.com Web site a new user interface and navigation features, including a new login page. People who own a couple of the devices can use one to find the other, or use a friend’s Apple device. The service can also be used to remotely wipe out all the data on a lost device. The deletion can be undone if the owner later recovers the device.
People can login to Me.com via Web browser to locate any one of the three devices. The expanded location feature requires iOS 3.1.3 or later. IOS is the new name for the iPhone OS. Other enhancements include better overall performance, support for SSL for better security when using a browser, improved junk mail filtering and support for sending from external e-mail addresses.
Apple introduced the e-mail refresh to MobileMe subscribers last month on an invitation-only basis. The upgrade works best with Safari 4, Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8 or higher versions. One of MobileMe’s key features as an online file-sharing service is to synchronize data across Apple hardware and a PC.
