Tonight Apple announced the availability of calendar alerts on me.com using the company’s MobileMe service.

Similar to how calendar alerts work on any iOS device, users can now set up alerts for events and receive notifications through the online webapp so long as the web browser is open with the Calendar webapp.

The new MobileMe Calendar web application now includes the ability to set and edit alerts to remind you of upcoming events. Like the calendar alerts you can already set on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC (with Outlook), they will be displayed on whichever device you’re using to remind you that an event is about to start.

If you’re a MobileMe member, check it out at www.me.com
