Apple quietly updates MobileMe, brings (almost) real Push Updates

Probably to go along with the MobileMe sync updates brought by the fresh OS X 10.5.6 update, Apple has quietly updated the online component of MobileMe, as explained in a Knowledge Base article:
Sync

• Contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on a Mac sync automatically within a minute of the change being made on the computer, another device, or the web at www.me.com; Mac OS X 10.5.6 is required


• Resolved an issue that could cause some contacts to temporarily disappear on iPhone or iPod touch when syncing with MobileMe over an intermittent network connection; iPhone Software 2.2 is required to take full advantage of this


• Reduces inconsistent data alerts when syncing contacts and calendars between a computer (Mac or PC) and the MobileMe cloud

Mail

• Improves reliability of new email notifications on an iPhone/iPod touch


• Messages just deleted on iPhone, iPod touch, or a desktop mail application now update more quickly on webmail


• Improves startup time for webmail when message preview is enabled


• Addresses an issue that could cause inconsistency between the time stamp for messages in MobileMe Mail and the account’s time zone setting

Calendar

• Resolves an issue that caused some recurring events to have an incorrect number of recurrences


• Resolves an issue that caused certain events to reflect incorrect international time zone or Daylight Saving Time settings

Login

• The login page no longer removes your member name if you mistype your password


• Tabbing between login fields is now supported

Account

• Resolves an issue that prevented some members from purchasing a Family Pack upgrade
