You can send a remote wipe command to remove all your data if phone is stolen/lost

[Reimroc]

Rather nice,I must admit.

But MobileMe cost 99$ per year.

- last's 3 times longer for the "average" user

- can't have two batteries incase one runs out

- if your laptop craps out you either have to chunk it or send it to apple -- waste of time

Well in my case I never had to replace a battery in my laptop (when I was in university I used to drain my battery daily...)

If your phone really is lost or stolen, you can send it a remote wipe command that will delete all of your data (mail, contacts, etc). If you do find the phone, it will be restored from a backup.

sweet!

Wow - find my phone / remote wipe is almost enough to make me want MobileMe just for that feature!

[Guest MGS3_GrayFox]

The iPhone now has an integrated anti-theft solution, that is nice!

Your phone costs a hell of a lot more though :p

[Snakehn]

So let's say if you have Mobile Me family, you could log into your teenager's mobile me and track where they are too? LOL

remote wipe is actually supported in Exchange. Don't know why Apple needs MobileMe for that. :/

I might have to check it out ;)

[Reimroc]

I just want to see the new iPhone lol

They have to keep things for the next revision you know. lol

it can wipe out other stuff I guess? (like content not managed by Exchange)

[PyX]

It's a great MobileMe service IMO!

Maybe MobileMe is useful in the end :p I mean, I know it's great and everything, the interface looks awesome, the integration with iPhones, Macs, facebook I think, youtube I think, Mail, etc. but I always thought paying 100 for this was useless :-\

I'm wondering what's the frequency of the updates in this "Find my iPhone". If it's like once per minute, it'd drain the battery for nothing, if it's once per hour, you could get out of town easily with someone's iPhone.

To grab your money?

Not every iPhone user is also an Exchange user. Besides, they do tout MobileMe as "Exchange for the rest of us".

[furby]

Ahh, stop teasing us. Where's the new iPhone!?

[Ayepecks]

As someone who generally enjoys Apple events (and products), this is boring as hell. So was the last one they did. Steve Jobs makes a world of difference.

They need to start just sending press releases like a normal company is this is all the new stuff they have to announce (IMO).

[Guest MGS3_GrayFox]

Maybe I'm too late anyways, but is there a live video stream somewhere? I'm following this by the MacRumor's live blog coverage, but video would be ncie.

[sn00pie]

They have a few more things up their sleeve I'm sure. After these developers talk, then we will see the new iPhone, and of all people to show it, it will be Steve ;)

You mean, the guy is boring, or the products? I find the keynote really interesting so far, on the products' side. It's exactly what I thought it was, nothing more nothing less, except for a new iPhone but this is going to be true in like 10 minutes :p

Snow Leopard blew me away so far with the statistics, the small MacBook introduction at the beginning just to tease us, a recap of iPhone OS 3.0 software features... they invited many people to speak (this is called diplomacy for a company :)) What are you asking?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

This live stream is really p***ing me off now, what the hell is he doing to the mic. I gotta turn the speakers up just to hear the speakers on stage and then he is deafening me with that clicky noise :angry:
