» Tuesday News Updates

Here’s what’s up for today:

• iPhone 2.0.2 has been released tonight and is what Apple calls a bugfix, which is pretty undescriptive. Most users seem to find it faster than before but nothing is yet said above the 3G coverage.
   
• Speaking about Apple. They’ve decided to give out another free two months of MobileMe to subscribers "for their patience during the time". In their support document you can read more about the free extension.
   
• Smashing Magazine is an amazing resource really and today they are holding that strong as well with their newest article called "7 Principles of Clean and Optimized CSS Code".

» .Mac becomes MobileMe

Yesterday at the WWDC08 Keynote, Apple announced its new online service that will replace the outdated .Mac. The new service is called MobileMe and is labled as "Exchange for all of us" and I think it really summarises up what it is. MobileMe features a remake of the old .Mac with a much nicer and cooler interface and with push-features as the main advantage point, perfect if you move a lot between different computers or computer and device. It’ll still cost you the "usual" $99/year but now with an increased value.

You can read more about it over on the Apple website.
