For me personally, I am very excited about the 3G iPhone of course, and very glad it will finally land in Japan in July. (And with the time difference, those in Japan will get their iPhones a few hours ahead of most other countries.)  It's time to say goodbye to my Nokia 6680.

I am also very excited about MobileMe, which allows me to sync data on my iPod Touch and my future iPhone without wires. The web 2.0 applications of MobileMe seems good as well. I often use Boot Camp to run Windows XP, and it's going to be handy that I can make changes to my calendar with the web browser. In fact, Apple should just port the entire OS X onto the web =)

Anyhow, the web apps look great, and surely will get non-Mac users acquainted with the Mac OS X feel, and it'll probably help them switch more smoothly in the future.
