What can mobileme do for the ipod touch?

Can it go online anywhere I go?|||MobileMe is more for data synchronization, it's not going to expand your wireless coverage since that's a limitation of your wifi router.





By synchronization I mean this. (btw mobileme is more beneficial to mac users than windows users)





Lets say you're browsing the web on your computer and you come across a couple sites that you would like to visit again on the touch. If you save them as bookmarks in Safari, then mobileme will automatically add those bookmarks to your ipod touch's safari when it gets online, as well as any other computer you have synchronized with your mobile me account.





Same for contacts and calendar events, it synchronizes all your devices with any changes you make on any computer. So if you add an appointment to calendar on the ipod touch, it'll automatically update your iCal at home. If you change someone's contact information off your computer on your work laptop, it'll automatically update the contacts listed in your home computer and iPod Touch.





Also with the @me.com email account, new emails will be 'pushed' to your ipod device as opposed to the device having to check every 15 minutes draining the battery.





Mobileme will also sync your preferences, mail accounts, dashboard, documents and such between all your computers that are hooked up with mobile me.





I find it rather handy, just not really justify the 99$ price tag just yet, but its very convient for me to keep track of everything automatically without having to make sure I synced with iTunes every time just to keep my contacts, calendar, mail, bookmarks updated.





[EDIT] There is the 60 day trial to try it out though, which is what I'm doing.
