MobileMe is a service from Apple that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync. No docking required. And that’s just one of many ways MobileMe simplifies your life.

Apple released today a new version of MobileMe which comes with new features and more improvements. Most of the improvements are for version 3.0 of IPhone OS or for IPhone 3GS.

Now you can access help directly from me.com toolbar. In Gallery, IPhone 3GS can publish videos to a Gallery album, but if there is no Gallery album, an album is created automatically. In Mail when you forward or reply to an HTML or rich text message, the text maintains the original formatting. A new features added in Mail is that the number of unred messages is now shown next to Inbox or next to every folder.

The improvements for Push Contacts and Push Calendar require IPhone OS 3.0. If you want to delete a MobileMe account or turn off contact and calendar sync on iPhone/iPod touch, a copy of the data will be kept on the device. Another great improvement is that now you can keep ringtone associations when you synchronize your device with Mobile Me.

If you lose your IPhone you can locate it on me.com, send a message to display on the screen or you can delete your data from IPhone.

MobileMe Control Panel for Windows supports syncing of contacts, calendar, and bookmarks when connecting to the Internet via a proxy server.
