Thanks, Apple.
I love the new update it is so much easier to use!
Here is a question for you……is the biggest/newest feature for MobileMe is the price….is it FREE yet? Only being free will help pull additional people over the wall from gmail, hotmail, and all the other free webapps…..APPLE, PLEASE LISTEN…….MAKE MOBILEME GOOD AND FREE AND YOU WILL SELL MORE iPRODUCTS!!!
OK… now make it free and I’ll use it….
that’s funny Uh huh……great minds think alike and at the same time…..
Yawn! I still miss iCards!
If MobileMe offers a free service, like Google and its Apps, it will probably have some iAd services, or something else for Apple to make money. Or to put it another way, if Apple offers a paid MobileMe service and a free one, there will have to be some differentiation.
I do not mind paying for service. I just want value for it. I pay for Google Apps for my small company. I am interested to see what Apple can offer to the small business community through MobileMe, or perhaps it will continue to stick with single consumer-oriented products. If so, then Google will continue to get my dollars.
Whatever happen to paying for a good product.
Thanks Apple!
Now how about multiple email accounts on me.com or for matter on mail.com
Okay, rules are nice. But how about syncing the rules from my Mac. Do I really have to recreate a dozen different rules for MobileMe. And how about updating the the Gallery and iDisk apps for the iPad and making them more functional. I pay for this and would really like a little more, plus some consistency. MobileMe development seems to be moving very slow. I have been patient for years on this.
Oh, and ditto the iCards! haha!
but free with every applecare mac would be nice promo
and lower yearly a bit 79 sounds better
MobileMe won’t be completely free. The iPhone/iPad locator and over the air shutdown is not going to be included. Expect your disk space to be reduced if they give that and gallery too. Apple will make you pay (I don’t mind at all for what it’s been able to do). They have to pay for that server farm maintenance somehow. Thanks for the updates. Mobile me beta has been great so far too.
OK… now make it free and I’ll use it….

They only have like 40 billion in cash. You have to wonder when they’re really going to unleash this thing, and make it competitive with MS and GooG offerings. (Yeah, I mean, make it Free)
Yes, multiple mail accounts! Please. Give mobile me to new mac/iDevices buyers for one free year, cut the price in half and people will be so hooked, they won’t stop using it.
one word…. Drop. Box.
…ok that’s two…sue me.
OK now will someone make the sales pitch to me ’cause I really want to use MobileMe. I know there are things it does that DropBox doesn’t do–they’re not even the same type of service.
one caveat, I’m on OS 10.4.11…..STOP LAUGHING!!!!
That “free” rumor appears to have been pretty destructive to Apple, based on the comments here. Way to go, Google, these folks are no longer inclined to buy MobileMe from Apple.
Personally, I’d much rather pay for a service like MobileMe, because then I’m the actual customer. With “free” services, the site’s only customers are their ad partners. I’d much rather have them accoutable to me.
Anyone else been around since iTools?
hello! when can i get alias access on the iphone, come on!
@C1
iTools since 2001!
but is it free?
@ChrissyOne,
Yep. It’s come a long way baby…
Yeah, it would be great if MobileMe were free, but I still find it worth the $100 per year. Sure, gmail is free but I don’t trust Google to protect my privacy. Goobers.
iTools day one.
ChrissyOne, I’ve been a member since 20th Feb 2001, it even says so in my MobileMe System Preferences!
