Steve Jobs confirms iWeb discontinuation as iCloud envelopes MobileMe

“One concerned iWeb/MobileMe user emailed Apple CEO Steve Jobs to ask about the fate of the offering, and reportedly received confirmation that users will indeed need to find alternative hosting for their sites once MobileMe is officially discontinued,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.

“All existing MobileMe users have received free subscription extensions through June 30, 2012, at which time the service will cease to exist and the transition to iCloud will be complete,” Slivka reports. “As usual, the authenticity can not be confirmed with absolute certainty, but we have examined the email headers and believe them to be legitimate.”
