MobileMe updates alongside 10.5.6

The only problem is that it still won't sync to my phone!!!

PUSH!!

MobileMe is still a piece of crap for me. Calendar sync is not working at all via the "cloud." SKDJ$%*(@#)*$@(#)WFJEK

It is a shame to not see https, but I'm glad to see the steady updates on MobileMe. A big change from the pace of updates and fixes on dotmac.

Everything is sent clear text - run wireshark and you can see what is in the packets going back and forth... e-mail, contacts, calendars.

"Improved startup time and reliability"

How does that one work, Apple's servers boot faster? Or do they mean that it takes less time to set up the connection itself? Or does your iPhone boot faster now that MobileMe is spiffier?

I can honestly state that my iDisk has not become any faster either (which is no surprise seeing I need to connect all the way to Apple's servers in the US instead of a European mirror) and reliability is such a vague term I won't even go into it...

Any idea if/when they'll add in syncronization of the personal ringtone field?

i only have my iphone 3g hooked up to mobile me online, but my contacts and calendar won't sync or havent in a few weeks. i have 497 contacts in my phone but only 434 online. if i make changes online they dont show up on my phone (i.e. i create contact called "TEST" and it never showed up on my phone; and likewise with the calendar). if i create something on my phone it doesnt show up online, obviously.

anyone else having this problem? my iphone is most up to date, and im afraid of losing the data on my phone if it syncs wrong?

any solutions?

It is unfortunate that the update didn't include making the site https...
