iPad and MobileMe

MobileMe keeps your email, contacts, and calendar in the “cloud” and automatically syncs across your iPad, Mac, PC, iPhone, and the web. So no matter where you go or what device you use, your information stays up to date over the air — no docking required. And if you ever lose your iPad, MobileMe can help you find it.

Email that’s in sync on all your devices.

With MobileMe, email automatically stays in sync, everywhere you check it. That means you can read, delete, or move a message to a folder on one device, and it happens on every device you use. MobileMe also constantly checks for new messages so you don’t have to. They’re pushed to your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch automatically, and you’re notified the instant they arrive. MobileMe protects your inbox from spam and viruses. And when you join MobileMe, you get a me.com email account that’s always up to date — and entirely ad free.

Get contacts and calendars that keep up with you.

MobileMe keeps all your contacts and calendars in sync between your iPad, iPhone, and computers automatically over the air — no docking required. When you add a contact or update an event, every device and computer you’re using updates in seconds. So you’ll have the same important information — a business contact, the new location for your friend’s birthday party — everywhere you need it. MobileMe works with the Contacts and Calendar apps on your iPad and iPhone, with Address Book and iCal on your Mac, and with Microsoft Outlook on your PC.

Take your bookmarks with you.

MobileMe wirelessly syncs web bookmarks across all your devices, too. So if you bookmark a site when surfing on your iPad, you’ll be able to see the same bookmark next time you’re at your computer or on your iPhone.

Lose your iPad? Find it with MobileMe.

If you misplace your iPad, MobileMe can help you find it. Log in to me.com to view a map that shows the approximate location of your iPad. If it’s nearby, have it play a sound to help you find it, or display a message on the Home screen to help someone return it to you. The Find My iPad feature works best if your iPad includes both Wi-Fi and 3G, but it will also find your Wi-Fi-only iPad when it’s connected to a wireless network.

Protect your privacy with Remote Wipe.

Your iPad contains information you don’t want in the hands of a stranger. So if you lose your iPad and displaying a message on it hasn’t resulted in its safe return, you can remotely lock it with a passcode or initiate a remote wipe and restore factory settings. If you eventually find your iPad, you can restore your email, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks by enabling your MobileMe account on iPad.
