Please let there be a .mac update

Could it finally be? Has Apple finally listened to it legions of fanboys & fangirls and given us a much anticipated update to the great, yet featureless .mac service? If you’re like me and use this service heavily to sync your contacts, calendar, and email accounts across multiple Mac’s you’ve also been dying for this. When I logged into my .mac account earlier today i spotted a little note posted on the main page of the .mac service might give us some insight into tomorrow’s special Apple event.

“Due to scheduled maintenance, .Mac members might be intermittently unable to access some .Mac services from 10 AM to 12 PM PDT on 08/07/2007. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

I’m hoping we see some more functionality. Maybe some more space or the ability to use a much more robust webmail interface (with support for our own imap accounts, not just our .mac account.)

Looks like they might be tweaking the system just before Apple hits the stage tomorrow. Either that or they have sent all us bloggers into a tail spin.

Other rumored updates include…

• Upgraded iMac’s with a flashier design
• New Mac Minis with a smaller form factor and bigger Hard Drives.
