MobileMe subscribers recently received an email detailing a few changes. Initially the 2008 launch of MobileMe in was tragic although now, the Push is back.

For the iPhone, the main modifications are improved notifications and synchronization. Reliability of new email notifications and syncing of contacts and calendar with MobileMe have both been improved. The email distributed to MobileMe members states "to get the best MobileMe experience on your iPhone or iPod touch, you should be running iPhone Software 2.2 or later".

Most importantly for the update, the iPhone or iPod Touch must have firmware 2.2 or later. With the changes, any updates that you make to contacts or calendars on your Mac in iCal or Addressbook. On your PC using Microsoft Outlook both are automatically and rather quickly pushed to the cloud. Conversely, any updates made to MobileMe data at me.com, or on an iPhone or iPod Touch is pushed back your Mac or PC. Finally, all your contacts and calendars will update across your devices much faster than previously.
