About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (240)

Apple is pulling down their Mac site tomorrow to perform an emergency install-ectomy for push mail client MobileMe, which is starting up in tandem with the iPhone 3G launch.

This service allows all your data to float around in space, ready to be updated on all synched machines at the same time. So add a new contact or set a date in your calendar whilst on the go, and MobileMe will update your PC or Mac with the same info automatically and instantly. The same applies if you are at your base of operations and make some changes. Handy. Oh, and it also works with Outlook if you’re looking to be at your job’s beck and call just like your Blackberry-owning chums!

This is the thing about a global rollout…with lucky hobos like Mr. First iPhone 3G chilling outside the Vodafone store in New Zealand, and MobileMe ready for their launch, will stuff like the App Store be on at the flick of switch or a staggered global release?

Oh, and here are the first pictures of an unboxed iPhone 3G, courtesy of Engadget and iPhone Portugal. Guess the Portuguese aren’t just about creating unfathomably good footballers…click on!

Note the next-gen SIM removal whosit above, a must for every iPhone owner who knows the nightmare of getting that thing out. A revelation!
