Just came back from a serious beer session at the pool bar, which means I missed the WWDC Keynote.

…and I caught up on the news… my take? Forget about iPhone 3G, forget about GPS support and the AppStore…

THE big thing? MobileMe.

This is THE MOBILE COMPUTING dream everybody has been prophesying for years… the famous CLOUD COMPUTING.

.Mac was a sad affair, but it was a good stumbling step in the right direction… now if Apple can get their acts together and put the resources to make MobileMe efficient, then they have the KILLER NEXT BIG THING.

Everybody has been talking about accessing your data anywhere, anytime, but it has been all theory… Now what Apple announces is basically IT. And with PUSH SYNCH they avoid the pain of having to synch your data… You create content (emails, contents, pictures, whatever) and they just magically synch over the air and become available to ALL your devices…

“It’s a kind of magic”.

[UPDATE: I just signed to be notified when MobileMe becomes available and heres is the post-signup screen:

the NEXT big thing is always UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
