Apple Outlines Tweaks to MobileMe

Apple has posted a support document online outlining several changes that have been made to MobileMe. The changes mainly affect MobileMe's iDisk service but the "Find my iPhone" feature now takes a more prominent place on the MobileMe navigation bar.

Apple lists the following changes:

  • New Public folder page located at http://public.me.com/membername now matches the look of me.com and supports drag and drop of files between folders (when enabled for visitors)
  • Allowing visitors to upload, move, and delete files on your Public folder can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
  • An iDisk Public folder password can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
  • When logging in to a password-protected Public folder with a web browser, entering the generic username “public” is no longer required
  • Adds ability to connect to another member’s Public folder while viewing your own iDisk at me.com

Find My iPhone

  • Adds Find My iPhone icon to the MobileMe toolbar at me.com
  • Adds new URL to go directly to Find My iPhone: http://www.me.com/findmyiphone

Contacts

  • Resolves an issue where exporting multiple contacts may result in an incomplete set of contacts
