Have you got your me.com username?

Apple’s MobileMe is looking rather smart. I’m particularly impressed with it.

Whether your an iPhone fanboy or a NokiaNob, you might like the idea of a fancy me.com email address.

Not many folk have noticed the potential as yet — since everyone and their dog hasn’t yet signed-up, there’s a heck of a lot of username availability. If you head over to www.me.com, you’ll find an option to sign-up for MobileMe (irrespective of whether you use an iPhone, or an Apple, in fact — although Firefox and Safari are recommended). Sign-up for a 60-day free trial — you do need to put in your credit card details — and you can most probably get the username of your choice.

Our Podcast Master, Ben Smith, was delighted to get bensmith at me.com (I think that’s what he chose). I managed to get ‘ewan’. Right on!
