Apple’s finally seen fit to make their MobileMe Calendar web app an official product after a long period in beta. It’s now available to all comers, and will allow you to check or update your MobileMe calendar from any computer or Apple device, as well as share calendars with friends and colleagues, or send out invitations to events to your droogies.
If you’re already in the beta, nothing to be done, of course: your MobileMe Calendar will continue as it ever did. Otherwise, if you’d like to sign up, just direct yourself toward this link and click the “Upgrade Now” link in the lower left.
The new MobileMe web calendar isn’t likely to stagger you, but it does represent a consistent effort on Apple’s parts to converge the design elements used in their iOS devices into the desktop and web experiences. I wouldn’t be surprised to see OS X 10.7 Lion to incorporate a lot more iOS design tricks.
