Apple Launches MobileMe’s Successor With iCloud.com Beta [Gallery]

Apple has just launched its iCloud.com online service which will later be the successor to MobileMe. Those signed up to the service can now use their web browser to access their Mail, Contacts, Calendar and more.

You may recognize the login screen from the image that was leaked before WWDC back in June. We were doubtful of its authenticity back then, but it seems to be pretty spot-on. Once you’re logged in you have access to your iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone and even your iWork documents.

If you’re already a MobileMe users, the interface will feel very familiar, though there are a number of updates to its appearance. One of my favorites is the new iOS-like pop-up notifications.

There’s more images of the iCloud web apps on the next page.
