TUAW has received information from an anonymous tipster about future Apple plans. Apparently, .Mac is going to undergo a complete revamp – and will be re-launched at the same time as the iPhone 2.0 launch – which is expected some time in June (most likely in the Worldwide Developers’ Conference). .Mac’s new changes would bring new features to the service for both Mac and Windows users for the first time; some of these features include:
- .Mac push e-mail
- Wireless syncing for calendars, contacts, and email (similar to Microsoft Exchange)
- .Mac syncing on Windows
It makes sense for Apple to integrate .Mac into the iPhone. Wireless syncing of calendars and contacts would make it a big competitor to Microsoft’s Exchange service – which is widely used as the standard for many businesses. .Mac hasn’t been too successful either, this could be Apple’s way of bringing the product to success.

It's still not worth $100 a year. I hope that a price drop is part of that upgrade.
