According to Apple, MobileMe is launching on July 9th Between 6pm-12am PT, just few hours away now. Apple describes MobileMe as a suite of web-based applications (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery, and iDisk) and Push sync services.

As I said in Is MobileMe Innovative?, Apple is approaching their massive consumer base with the message of Easy-to-use, elegant interface and desktop look-n-feel. As an application deverloper, I am interested in MobileMe’s perfermance behind the SproutCore javascript platform, and I am going to do some simple tests, including:

1. I will test the speed of the iDisk with some large files. (Reason: To see if it gives me the desktop look and feel)
2. I will test the mail with all basic features and then compare with Gmail’s conversation-style. (Reason: MobileMe and Gmail target the same market)
3. I will run MobileMe on IE6 (Reason: According to W3C, 26.5% browsers are IE6, which is not on the supported browsers list of MobileMe)
4. I will go throught the javascript to do a brief test about security.

P.S. MobileMe lives at me.com
