TUAW reports that Apple may make significant changes to its .Mac online service in tune with the widely anticipated release of the iPhone 2.0 firmware update rollout at the WWDC in June.
According to their sources, .Mac could undergo the following changes as soon as next month:
• Full over-the-air syncing including calendars, contacts, and email (similar to Exchange)
• .Mac syncing on Windows
This would put .Mac on par with Microsoft Exchange and include a full wireless sync that updates calendars, contacts, and e-mail messages as they are added or deleted on other computers.
The service will also add sync for platform-agnostic data with Windows, according to the claim.
TUAW also claims to have images of push e-mail support for .Mac, which would deliver mail in near real-time as with many Exchange servers.
