Apple Introduces MobileMe Internet Service

Push Email, Push Contacts and Push Calendar for iPhone, iPod touch, Macs
and PCs

SAN FRANCISCO--June 9, 2008--Apple today introduced MobileMe, a new
Internet service that delivers push email, push contacts and push calendars
from the MobileMe service in the "cloud" to native applications on iPhone,
iPod touch, Macs and PCs. MobileMe also provides a suite of elegant,
ad-free web applications that deliver a desktop-like experience through any
modern browser. MobileMe applications (www.me.com) include Mail, Contacts
and Calendar, as well as Gallery for viewing and sharing photos and iDisk
for storing and exchanging documents online.

"Think of MobileMe as 'Exchange for the rest of us,'" said Steve Jobs,
Apple's CEO. "Now users who are not part of an enterprise that runs
Exchange can get the same push email, push calendars and push contacts that
the big guys get."

With a MobileMe email account, all folders, messages and status indicators
look identical whether checking email on iPhone, iPod touch, a Mac or a PC.
New email messages are pushed instantly to iPhone over the cellular network
or Wi-Fi, removing the need to manually check email and wait for downloads.
Push also keeps contacts and calendars continuously up-to-date so changes
made on one device are automatically pushed up to the cloud and down to
other devices. Push works with the native applications on iPhone and iPod
touch, Microsoft Outlook for the PC, and Mac OS X applications, Mail,
Address Book and iCal, as well as the MobileMe web application suite.

MobileMe web applications are 100 percent ad-free and provide an
incredible, desktop-like experience that allows users to drag and drop,
click and drag and even use keyboard shortcuts. MobileMe provides anywhere
access to Mail, Contacts and Calendar, with a unified interface that allows
users to switch between applications with a single click, and Gallery makes
it easy to share photos on the web in stunning quality. Gallery users can
upload, rearrange, rotate and title photos from any browser; post photos
directly from an iPhone; allow visitors to download print quality images;
and contribute photos to an album. MobileMe iDisk lets users store and
manage files online with drag and drop filing and makes it easy to share
documents too large to email by automatically sending an email with a link
for downloading the file. MobileMe includes 20GB of online storage that can
be used for email, contacts, calendar, photos, movies and documents.
