I totally understand the concept, but much like .Mac, I'm at a loss as to why I would need it.
I can already sync between my Mac and my iPhone. Maybe if I had another Mac it would be useful??
Thanks for the updates today!

fritz: wireless sync. push email that isn't yahoo.

Fritz Laurel said 5:18PM on 6-09-2008
Ahh, so there's wireless sync and email push, eh?
Well, I still don't need wireless sync or email push and I can't think of anyone I know who would *need* it either. What I have w/ my current iPhone works very well enough.
cheers,
fl

The AJAX web apps do look very cool. Unfortunately I'd never use them and it's still $99 per year, which is not worthwhile to me for many reasons. Pass again.

stupid question, i'm sure, but what about iweb? no mention anywhere of me.com or mobileme working with iweb. i would think that it would, but there's nothing offial.

Scroll down a little.

Why no Notes.app syncing? I would love to be able to access and updates my iPhones notes on a desktop computer through Mobile me.

What about using your own domain?
Reply
Michael said 4:55PM on 6-09-2008
What I want to know is will I be able to use my own domain like I can with Google Hosted Gmail? If not then it's a real no go for me and I can't recommend it to any of my clients the way I do with Google Hosted Gmail.

I'm sure as .Mac allows this now, so will MobileMe.
brock bruce said 4:58PM on 6-09-2008
thank you sir. i should have seen that myself. instead i watched the guided tour. iweb and mobileme together forever. (or until the next rebranding)

Graham Stevens said 5:08PM on 6-09-2008
hmm no more xxxx@mac.com?
The guide includes a xxx@me.com address...

Mike said 5:09PM on 6-09-2008
Am I the only one who thinks the MobileMe name and logo are so "un-Apple-like"?
Opinions on the services provided aside, the logo just seems too "cartoony." And .Mac is a way cooler name than MobileMe.
Maybe it's just me......

YodaMac said 5:29PM on 6-09-2008
I agree 100% about the new re-branding... however...
.mac only appeals to Mac users and Apple clearly is gunning for as many Windoze switchers as they can get.
Fortunately those of us already signed up can keep our .mac email address. We now just have to live with that awful, silly, slightly-fabric softener-esque "me" cloud. :P
sigh.
homagetogorto said 5:53PM on 6-09-2008
Then again, "Yahoo!" is a fundamentally ridiculous name, and we don't think twice about it anymore.
Mike said 6:11PM on 6-09-2008
The difference is Yahoo! has always been Yahoo!. It didn't change from cool to ridiculous overnight. It's always been ridiculous.
The problem is, Apple is going from a serviceable name like .Mac to a generic, crappy (technical term) name like MobileMe.
I understand their want (and need) to crossover and get the Windows users, but surely the ad execs and brainstormers at Apple could have come up with something better than that. I mean really: "My email address is xxxx@me.com." How self-absorbent does that sound?
Zach said 5:19PM on 6-09-2008
I scoured Apple's site--looks like to dos still don't sync. Apparently Apple believes its users enjoy leisurely existences with no actions required of them.

I agree. I am getting quite agitated at ignoring this function on the iphone. it's especially maddening to me because I can not fathom a software engineering reason why including tasks/to-do's is a problem. On my desktop macs this data regularly (and seamlessly) syncs between my machines via both .mac syncing AND IMAP mail syncing in essentially the same way my calendars and contacts do. If calendars and contacts can be synced, then why not tasks?
Honestly, this is really ticking me off.
Joseph said 5:47PM on 6-09-2008
Cool idea, stupid name. Looks too close to Windows ME.
But when Nintendo went from revolution to weee, i thought that was dumb. Apparently the public doesn't care about names anymore.
