“The ‘late-September 2008 MobileMe update’ support article is listed as being last modified October 29, but it’s not clear when it was originally published,” McLean reports.
“Additional updates to MobileMe are expected, including the advertised but still not yet delivered feature of uploading files from Mail to the service for download rather than as email attachments,” McLean reports.

From Apple’s “About the Late-September 2008 MobileMe update” (HT3182):
Apple is always working to improve MobileMe. Since MobileMe is primarily a server-side, or “cloud”-based, service, the MobileMe team can make improvements and push updates to MobileMe without any action being required of MobileMe customers. Since server-side updates are a bit more innocuous than a standard software update to Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows, it’s easy not to notice that updates are occurring. Usually the only hint of these updates is that things just “work better.”

ummm… trial running out soon, time to buy…???
When are they going to add a server side rules for MobileMe Mail?
Come on, it seems like an obvious thing to add.
How about shared MobileMe calendars for the iPhone?
Or would that be an iPhone update?
Amazon has MobileMe listed for 50% off. You have to buy it from a third party seller, but for $49.99 it sounds like a good deal. After getting 5 months trial for free, $55 with shipping looks pretty good for 17 months service.
I wish MobileMe would provide a viable backup solution á la the excellent SugarSync
@bon, I completely agree. I have the full boat subscription to MobileMe, but it maxes out at 60gb I believe. SugarSync works very well for me, and is nearly invisible. At home, on the Mini with the big fisplay, I work on the same files as at the office, and on the road.
“Amazon has MobileMe listed for 50% off”
Is that 50% of your mail gets through? or 50% of the time it works? or 50% of the time Apple is apologizing for it?
I can see why they’d be trying to fix this pig stealthily. I expect a public announcement when it comes out of beta.
They’ll probably have to name it MobileMojave or something else new to escape the stigma of the MobileMe brand.
please fix the wrong mail time stamp first…..otherwise, it’s useless services
