  • Shiftgood, on 07/18/2008, -2/+6Why do i get the feeling the person that wrote this got really fat off ham 'n cheese hot pockets and wears a faded black zip up sweatshirt?

    You ever get those unshakable feelings?
  • fanboydcs, on 07/18/2008, -1/+3works great for me, All my Calenders and Contacts are sync'd with my iPhone and computers.. What other services do this? None..

    Its up and its working great..

    Here is Apples Apology:

    Its an amazing service for a very good price, a ton of people purchased it and taxed their servers. I don't think they realized how many people were going to purchase Mobile me on launch day.
    • TwistedSilver, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3the only other "service" that does something like this is Exchange but that is generally for people in the enterprise. Not really on the consumer level.
    • r3zonance, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2It works nicely for me too.

      Yes it was down for a bit. That probably had a lot to with around 1 million people hitting the site at once to see the new look, instead of the normal maybe 100,000 users (as most of us get mail, calendar and contacts through our desktop macs).

      No way on this earth you can plan for that kind of spike in demand.
      • TwistedSilver, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3Exactly. I really don't see why every is going up in arms about the problems considering that Apple has given all current MobileMe Subscribers 30 free days.
  • Theknightinhell, on 07/18/2008, -1/+2I don't have any problem with MobileMe, it works great and the server load problem is slowly getting better which is making the web apps notably faster. I don't think it is at all fair to rip on the service this early in the game seeing as there seems to be no other consumer level Exchange type program out there and Apple has done a great job of making such a service. Push email has been working flawlessly for me from day one and messages have been instantly pushed to all my devices, same with my calenders and contacts, just like their supposed to. Buried.
  • musicmaverick, on 07/18/2008, -1/+2my friend who got an iphone had no idea how to log onto mobileme online. and it turns out to be at www.me.com. they should make that clearer.
  • YodaJones, on 07/18/2008, -4/+1Lol. That is funny. The MobileMe Me.com web site does not even work if you access it on a Linux computer with Firefox 3. Epic Fail.

    • UnseenLlama, on 07/18/2008, -3/+4what's the problem here? Me.com specifically supports:

      * Safari 3 or later (Mac / PC)
      * Firefox 2 or later (Mac / PC)
      * Internet Explorer 7 (Windows only)

      http://www.mac.com/1/browser_req.html

      I'm sorry that they don't support your version of FF3 for Linux which probably represents .01% of the browser market...then again Apple is setting around 7%, so I shouldn't talk. :-)
    • geoken, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3Apple hates Linux. Apple wants to be THE alternative to Microsoft. A viable Linux platform will hurt Apple even more than it would hurt Microsoft.
    • r3zonance, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Surely as a Linux user, you should be tossing off into open-source land. No doubt running your own IMAP server out of your house or something?
  • annjay, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Interesting. Going to check in detail.
  • clak, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Man, I was so overwhelmed at how beautiful Apple makes their web pages, even with this fake page, that I almost forgot what it was I was supposed to be offended about, and then I eagerly clicked on the iPhone section of the web page and it actually linked back to Apple's real page back at Apple.com. Bravo, Anti-Apple guy.

    Anyway, even though I keep reading bad reports about MobileMe, my sync continued to work and most importanly, Mail worked, and so did iChat. Seeing as I never worked with the web apps before, it's not like it was mission-critical to have them up right away. I think the extra month is fine as compensation. Thank you, Apple.
  • SenorChach, on 07/18/2008, -0/+0Seriously.... did you actually say what other service does this.. None.... 2 major ones do it wirelessly that I know of. For starters Exchange sync does it for the Windows Mobile platform. Blackberry enterprise/internet Server does it for the Blackberry Platform. For the others offline you use some bastardized version of active sync.
