Maybe I'm just not seeing the obvious...

I have the latest MM (1.1) and me.com is coming up for me fine on the web site.

I created a calendar date on the iPhone and it hasn't shown up on the web site yet. It's been 10 mins.

I watched the video, and I was under the impression that data from your MM devices (Mac, iPhone, etc.) would automagically go to "the cloud" and sync. Why aren't my calendar items showing up?

Do I have to actually connect the iPhone and sync it? If so, maybe they need to make that more clear in the video.

It should sync without connecting. It appears that Apple hasn't fully enabled the OTA syncing of calender items yet. I made a change on my computer and it took awhile for it to show up on my iPhone.

Test: Just changed an event that started at 8:00 to start at 7:00 on my iphone. My Me.com calender (in fact Me.com in general) isn't working. No buttons are working correctly so I can't see if it updated here. 7 minutes after the iPhone change, it still hasn't changed on the MBP's calender.

So, this "cloud" syncing is currently non-functional.

EDIT: Manually syncing my MPB updated the calender to reflect the new time. I heard there is some MM 1.1 update that some people got. None of my computers are showing this update as being available.

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure if OTA was working, or not intended in the first place. Looks like it was and isn't working at the moment.

No, OTA syncing was the BIG deal about this whole MobileMe, send your information to the "cloud", it gets pushed to all your devices thing. Currently, it doesn't work as advertised.
