MobileMe - Apple's syncing and Web App service launched in July. The service, you might recall, had a rocky start resulting in free extensions totaling 60 extra days for all users of the service. Since then, the service has been working just dandy for most folks. A month after the fact, via the Apple Wayback Machine, the company announced that there have been over 25 improvements made to MobileMe in late September.

The improvements are completely transparent to most MobileMe users since the service isn't actually installed on their local computer - it's a hosted web service. Therefore all the improvements were applied to the infrastructure servers supporting MobileMe. The improvements were then available to all MobileMe users instantly.

Apple has posted a technical document about these updates that details them extensively. Take a good look at this document since it is much more than we are accustomed to seeing from Apple. A company that is famous for short terse upgrade documents that are generally not more than one sentence long. We hope that Apple continues this trend in the future and that all future product update notices are as long as War and Peace.

The highlights are the extensive updates made to: MobileMe Mail, Mobile Me Calendar, Mozilla 3 browser support, Internet Explorer 7 support, Mobile Contacts (vCards) and MobileMe Gallery support (iPhone and iPod touch).
