And you can manage it all from anywhere using rich web applications at me.com MobileMe uses Ajax and Dynamic HTML to simulate the look and feel of desktop applications within the user’s web browser. Applications on me.com include Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery and iDisk access. MobileMe has two different plans. The Individual plan includes 20 GB of storage and 200 GB of data transfer. The Family Pack includes 40 GB of storage split among one 20 GB individual and four 5 GB e-mail plans.

Thanks for the article. MobileMe rocks but it is not free. I’ve recently found free sync tool for Mac OS X – Syncmate(http://www.sync-mac.com/syncmate-features.html)
With this tool you can sync your Mac with WM or Nokia, other Macs or PCS (!!!), PSP, USB drive, Google and online storage.
Moreover, it is free (some additional features are available at paid version)
Hope this information will be helpful as I’ve been looking for such a tool for a looooong time:)
