There has been some rumors floating around the past couple of weeks that .Mac will be seeing some major changes. As all of you should know, WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) is coming up next week, and it is going to be huge. We already know that is probably going to focus around the iPhone, but we may also see some attention towards .Mac.

What exactly can we expect however? Well, one of the rumors is that the name will be changed, to “Mobile Me”. This is expected as there has also been rumors going around that iPhone and .Mac will have the ability to sync with each other; hence the term “Mobile”. This will really boost Apple as people can really take advantage of the ability to sync over the iPhone. 

What Will “Mobile Me” Have?

Well, for those that do not know what .Mac is, I will help you better understand. .Mac is to sync your computer, so that wherever you are you will always have your information. For example, let’s say you are at a friends house, and you want to show him a cool new site. Your site is bookmarked at your house, so you log into .Mac, and you can retrieve all your bookmarks. Not only can you do that, but you have email, your calendar, address book, and much more. It is an amazing feature for two computers. 

Now since .Mac is rumored to be changed over to “Mobile Me”, you could expect some more changes right? Well that is the thing, not many people know. Only Apple knows; you can expect to see a lot more though.
