5 out of 5 stars Excellent product   July 24, 2008
 9 out of 31 found this review helpful

There are numerous negative reviews here based either on a desire to trash Apple products or a problematic glitch in their email service. MobileMe is not just an email address (you can get those for free), but an easy way to link several Macs, an iPhone, and your PC. It syncs your address book and calendar very easily across those platforms, in a "push" service (meaning you make one change one place, it replicates it on all of your machines). If you have an iPhone and a Mac, you can keep in constant sync. So far, that service alone works perfectly, better than what one would find with the Windows Mobile or BlackBerry platforms.

My favorite feature is that it syncs my photos and personal files across those platforms too. I have to keep extensive financial information in various locations, and it's good to know when I work on a pro-forma at home, I can retrieve the exact same one at my office. This works better than any service I've ever tried--it is elegant and easy to use. In addition, it keeps the files locally (so you can work on a laptop on a plane), then automatically syncs any changes to files once you connect to the internet. I cannot explain how valuable this is to me.

And finally there is an email address. I use the email for personal use only, so I guess it doesn't matter if it's off line. And apparently the problem is only for dot mac users (like myself) who've moved over to MobileMe, but I'm not sure.

I'd give this product a 5-star if I only could get my emails working, but I understand technology--sometimes things happen that aren't good. Everyone complaining now will be happy in a few weeks, and this product will have 4.5 stars or something.



5 out of 5 stars Slow start, but good now   July 15, 2008
 11 out of 28 found this review helpful

I will admit as a .mac user transitioning I was worried when the road got bumpy the first few days of this. Then things smoothed out. Mine is running perfectly now and I love it. The push isn't quite instant but it will update all of you devices within 15 minutes of changes depending on how you have it set up. I recommend this to any user who to be more in sync with their digital life.


5 out of 5 stars Rocky start, but great service overall   August 4, 2008
 6 out of 9 found this review helpful

I've been using MobileMe for years when it was ".Mac," and I'm a big fan of the service. The switch to MobileMe was definitely a little rocky, but now that the service is up and running, I think it's a tremendous value for the money. If you only need one or two features of the service it may not appeal to you, but if you use everything--mail, calendar, application syncing, photo galleries, web storage, etc.--it's a really great service. I just purchased another renewal code from Amazon too for $72 instead of the $99 Apple charges.

I use the service across my iPhone, two Macs, and the Vista installation I run in Boot Camp on one of the Macs. I couldn't get as much work done as I do without MobileMe.



5 out of 5 stars Nothing out there better   July 21, 2008
 6 out of 25 found this review helpful

I have been a Mac owner since 1988 and boy has Apple come a long way. I was already a dotmac subscriber. I just got my first iPhone on July 12 and Mobile Me is great. I also thought it great of Apple to give us MobileMe members a free month because all their cloud applications were not working as advertised. For sharing photos and videos, keeping up with email, building a personal Web Page, having access to calenders, contacts, files, MMe is the answer for me. With the addition of my iPhone it now is even better. Almost forgot to mention, for Free, Apple doubled the storage space available to anyone with an account. I looked at AT&T Yahoo for a comparable service and they wanted 3 or 4 times as much as the $99 ($79 at Amazon) per year MobileMe cost. Simple to use, worth the money. I have looked and you can't get an ad free hassle free service like this for free. Expecially one that lets you up/download full resolution photos.


5 out of 5 stars great service, what is with all of the haters   August 11, 2008
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

Just a little history about me and my use of the software. I was a .mac user prior to mobile me. I switched over from pc about a year ago and have enjoyed the transition. I really like not being asked to fix everyone else's pcs any longer because they are tired of me saying, "Yeah, I don't have that problem on my mac."

Now the review. What is with all of the hating of this product? I love it. It pushes to my ipod touch, it works well on all of my computers. I do not understand why people are still griping. Did the roll out of this new product go smoothly? No, not in the least but all is well now. It was a rocky transition but Vista is still in transition nearly two years after a roll out.

For those unluckly 2% that had real mobileme problems, yes, you had it rough for a few days but the rest of us were mostly mad because it did not get started until a day or so after we expected.

Benefits
The push feature on email, address book, and calendar are great. I can make a change on my ipod touch (or iphone) and my home computer in another country is updated.

As an added benefit I really like how everything flows together. I realize that I can publish my pictures on another site but I like how iPhoto integrates into my online gallery. I realize that I can publish videos to any site but I like how iMovie integrates to my gallery.

Some have said that all of these features in mobile me can be found in other places. Most of the online features are available but they are not integrated, they are unreliable, and who wants all of the advertisements? I had been using these work arounds prior to .mac and now mobileme... it is worth the $80 or so that mobileme costs to not have to deal with the other services.

After using the service for a few weeks, I upgraded to the family plan so that my wife could use it as well. She loves it.
