Finally - iDisk web access enabled, .Mac site redesign


Yet another significant update that should be added to the list of major updates and changes that were cut from yesterday's keynote: web access to the .Mac iDisk. Apple was obviously touting all the new features of iLife and iWeb in a .Mac email newsletter I received today, but they also mentioned that, along with a slight .Mac member site redesign and a new blog, web access has been enabled for the iDisk. The only way I know of getting into from a browser is by logging into mac.com, scrolling down and clicking on the iDisk icon in the left column. A new browser window will appear which should request your .Mac member name and password. Once logged in, you should then have Finder-like access to all your files and folders in your iDisk. This should make the iDisk a lot more handy, as it should be accessible from nearly any OS and browser.

I'm really glad Apple enabled this access, but this particular upgrade took way too long. I know there's this whole element of "paced evolution" to products and software like this, but give me a break. This should have been there since day 1.
