Schiller DID unveil the latest series of web apps now known as Mobile Me. Remember? He unveiled Mobile Me and explained the AJAX benefits of web technology !!! Makes sense to me.

iLife is pretty much already web based with Mobile Me. I mean, they just need some Google Docs type stuff to complete the loop.

if and however this happens, I tend to think of this as a way to extend iwork functionality to two or three main platforms, the iPhone/iPod, and the users of same on the windows side.

I think it also will be apples main way to SYNC things we always think should have been syncable, such as Notes, for example, There are a lot of iphone apps that create data worth saving, (Audio recorders and the like, list creators…) and so far, some wicked workaround has had to be used, such as an application on your Mac that will see the data via WiFi. Some of this is concerns about cellular bandwidth and its reliability, some of it is concerns about loopholes Apple would rather keep closed (iTunes is not geared to handle data that is NOT data. But Primarily, this is to extend those same functions easily to the millions of users that use iPods, iPhones, but do NOT have a mac, by creating a cloud application. Eventually they may want the same apps on their computer enough, to get a mac.

It is easier to post an iWork or iLife suite in the cloud, than to port it to Windows.

Out of everything leading up to Macworld, I actually believe this (it just backs up 9to5’s info). What I don’t believe is talks of a new Mac Pro or Macbook nano.

Wait, you’re not the first I have heard refer to 280 slides and Sproutcore. Cappucino is what I remember reading when it was launched, but I think everyone is confusing this right now. Obj J/Cappucino/Sproutcore… It’s all being mashed together as “Apple’s open frameworks” stuff.

@Ross: Bahhh !!! I knew something was funny as I was typing that. Getting confused with Objective J too sometimes. Thanx man. (fixed)

Fixed the sentence — Simple typo there. But both are scheduled to be getting the online enhancements.

280 Slides does not use Sproutcore, so you shouldn’t link to it as an example of the “incredible” sites it can build. 280 Slides is built using Cappuccino, an open source framework available at http://cappuccino.org.
