Good catch indeed! The OLEDs will dimm the darker parts, increase the contrast, save power and make it look AWSOME
iDisk is the online storage MobileMe customers receive. The MobileMe gallery is a web gallery for pictures and videos.
Everything is fine with login and password was fine, but setting up a gallery seems to be way too much work. Tutorial available? 
Login and everything is working fine for me (copied from 1password). I don't think I've seen this mentioned here yet:
There's a button to add a friend. I think this app is more for sharing pictures with friends than it is to just have access to your own online gallery. Now if only some of my other friends would pony up and get MobileMe. Maybe the tablet will help with that.

Not too spoil the party, the UI just matches the the full Web UI already in use. Nothing to really read into.
this doesn't work !!
I'm putting in my name and password and I get the same error message. Something is broken... so frustrating !!
any ideas of how to solve this problem ??

An all-in-one MobileMe app doesn't make any kind of sense. MobileMe integration is built into other apps: MobileMe mail is in Mail, MobileMe contacts are in Contacts, and so on. iDisk has its own separate app because there's no file-system browser in iPhone; if there was, iDisk functionality would belong in it. What makes the most sense is to add deeper MobileMe integration to Photos, to merge the MobileMe Gallery app functionality into it. However, in the interim, this is a nice app. It works well, the price is right, and it closes what had been something of a gap. So, I have no complaints.
there is no mobile me app. there is only an iDisk.app.
the really annoying thing in my eyes is that the login/password from the system are not taken. on OSx putting it once in the system preferences and the deal is done, but on iphone it has to be done once for mail/calendar/address book, then again for iDisk, and again for gallery now
it feels like it is changing pictures a bit faster than with the Photos.app when swiping a bit over photo borders.
besides this little additional typing i like the app so far. looks smooth.
the only 3 reasons i can why they made it separate apps are:
- preinstalled apps are on another (readonly) partition, and can only be installed using firmware updates.
- they do not wanna have to add support for flickr, picasa, etc. like for mail or calendar
- it is not for the wide audience of iPhone/iTouch users. They might have learned that it annoys people more when they need a paid service to do something, than when it is not possible.
in 3 weeks we will see a picasa.app maybe?
check it: http://gallery.me.com/aucl iphone optimized when watching it in mobile safari, it is possible to save it as link to the home screen. just the url bar hiding and so was not done for some strange reason.
nice, yes it would be nice;
... but on the other hand, blue markers are used when there are new photos that appeared since the last visit. (green/red) dors are for iChat.
I wanted to disagree with you but you're right. In every single word. My only problem is that it doesn't feel speedy swiping between photos.
Does anyone have issues with resolution? Is it dynamic (scaled/reduced size picture when over GPRS/Edge/3G vs full size on wifi)?
It seems Apple has had a subtle shift in how it does things recently - it's been putting out minor additions, testing waters, adding things without being part of big updates (see the iTunes Web update, the Apple website design changes to be tablet friendly...).
MobileMe could *easily* be a portal into a DisneyChest video / media connection for a tablet. Boom - instant local storage of some, with MobileMe carrying the rest to sync when you want it - BacktoMyMobileMe content if you will.
Tablet = OS 4.0 preview, OS 4.0 SDK out a bit after announcement, ATV update then possible also. Front Row changes, DisneyChest iTunes video announcements etc.
Big stuff ahead - Apple imo is going to attempt to be 1st before DECE this year. Tablet brings the books, apps, video (and cross platform compatibility/viewing it brings (you pause at position A on a movie, and you can pick it up on your laptop/phone etc) along with data being accessible across you MacBook, iPhone/Touch and tablet.
They got burned over MobileMe - I'd imagine they're not ever going in the near future want to have that happen - they may well stagger the updates for MobileMe specifically to make sure this doesn't happen.
Bringing it back to the MobileMe Gallery -
In the context of a Tablet, this is awesome. I'd imagine video and photo's to shine. (As will Tablet Facebook app!)
That thing about sharing video, pictures with your Granny? The tablet is that device.

It feels it is the same 2 resolutions you get when having photos in Photos.app. After zooming in it is getting sharper after downloading the higher res. image.
The blue dot means what it has always meant on the iPhone: new content. Those "friends" have new photos in their galleries that have not yet been viewed.
Same as the blue dot in mail, iPod app, messaging app, etc.
