What Everybody Ought To Know About Upcoming .Me For iPhone

Apple announced a range of .me domains to be launched on July 17. The new .me registry is thought to be an international hit.

New .me offers business domain names with verbs, such as fly.me or drive.me. Some recent speculations say that even Apple is planning to rename its web service .Mac into Mobile Me. The new domain lists MTV, Microsoft and BMW as the new potential owners of a .me domain.

So let’s see what to expect:

Back to My Mac enables you to access home Mac wherever you are on the internet. Apple handles the routing, so you needn’t worry about IP addresses and firewalls. Providing the access to files, music, movies from your iPhone, your 16-GB device will get the size of your Mac’s hard drive.

Mac’s pricing $100 a year offers less than you may get from elsewhere. Storage space of 10 GB is shared among the services, while Gmail has almost 7 GB. The iDisk may be replaced by other online storage services like Flickr with unlimited storage but monthly upload bandwidth limitation is set.

iPhone has WiFi, and pretty soon it will have a 3-G radio. So all that cables can disappear in the nearest future. Microsoft Exchange server can already update devices over the air, and Apple is going to introduce that into the iPhone software.

Also we anticipate a peer-to-peer sharing with .me. Your friend can squirt you a whole playlist instantly, and then iPhone would grab the tracks from the iTunes Store. Or maybe you will read the barcode with the cam of your iPhone and instantly get it. Good enough to satisfy you?

New GPS System On 3G iPhone

The 3G version of iPhone is on its way to being introduced at Apple’s WWDC this month. But whether it’s a super-fast 3G or a bit renewed 2G model, one thing is for sure: the Global Positioning System (GPS) is built into the new iPhone.

googlemapsoniphone.gifThe company providing the GPS supply to iPhone will be the main provider and champion in this race. The contract may be signed with Broadcom, which is relatively new GPS market entrant. The Irvine company had obtained Global Locate in summer 2007 for more than $200 million.

Last year the Google Maps usage was off the charts. Now this Maps feature together with the built-in GPS will be able to provide location based services. Such applications will definitely rise the demand for iPhones, which can be pretty good for Broadcom.

There are over 40 countries with iPhone deals, where multiple carriers are about to offer the new iPhone. So it looks like Apple is going to quickly conquer the world with the iPhone. The potential market for the iPhone is calculated to get the number of 575 million. In case Apple keeps its existing 3 percent market penetration, it could sell 17.25 million items. And it is quite possible for Apple to shift 45 million iPhones by the end of 2009.
