MobileMe, an Internet service from Apple, automatically syncs your email, contacts, and calendar to your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. So wherever you go, you'll always be up to date. Changes you make on one device are automatically sent to a secure online server, the MobileMe "cloud," and back down to your other devices, keeping them all in sync. MobileMe works with the native applications you use every day--Microsoft Outlook on a PC and Mail, Address Book, and iCal on the Mac. Access your email, contacts, calendar, photos, and documents from anywhere with a suite of elegant, ad-free web applications at me.com. Use MobileMe Gallery to share photos with friends and family in a stunning online gallery. Easily store, access, and share large files from anywhere using MobileMe iDisk. With push email, contacts, and calendars, easy photo sharing, an online iDisk, and 20GB of storage, MobileMe keeps everything up to date, anywhere you are. An individual membership comes with 20GB of combined email and file storage, 200GB of monthly data transfer, and full access to everything MobileMe has to offer.

It all goes where you go.

Maybe you have a computer at home, one at work, and an iPhone or iPod touch. And it can be hard to keep them all up to date. But now there's MobileMe. Wherever you are, your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC are always current and always in sync. And with a suite of elegant new web applications, you can access your data from anywhere.
  • Automatic sync.
    MobileMe stores all your email, contacts, and calendars on an online server--or "cloud"--and syncs them to your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. When you make a change on one device, the cloud updates the others. The sync happens automatically and continuously. You don't have to wait for it or remember to do anything--such as docking your iPhone and syncing manually--to stay up to date.

    (Please note: Updates between me.com and iPhone or iPod touch will occur in a matter of seconds; updates between me.com and Macs running Mac OS X Leopard and Windows PCs may take up to 15 minutes when MobileMe is set to sync automatically. Macs running Mac OS X Tiger may experience longer sync times.)

  • Works with the native applications you know.
    Do everything you need to do on every device you own. MobileMe works with Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac; Microsoft Outlook on a PC with Windows XP or Vista; and the built-in applications on your iPhone or iPod touch.

  • Your web applications at me.com.
    Check your email, change your calendar, edit your contacts, and more at me.com. Accessible anywhere, me.com is an ad-free suite of web applications--Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery, and iDisk--that are elegant and easy to use. You can drag and drop, click and drag, use keyboard shortcuts, and even switch between applications with a single click. Me.com is such a great web experience, it seems as if you're using desktop software.

4 out of 5 stars Not for cheap people, not for techo-geeks   July 30, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a great product for people that want a super simple and fun way to do a bunch of tasks on the internet. It is super for your grandmother, or for people that don't want to deal with any techie stuff, they want it all nice and simple.

If you want to do things like select some images in iPhoto and click one button to make a web gallery then mobileme is a great tool for you. It is great for making a great looking website with iWeb with ZERO code, you press publish and you have a website.

The reality is that most people don't know FTP and don't want to, those people will enjoy the ease of use of the iDisk. Things even get better if you have more then one Mac, the syncing between multiple Macs, iPhone and the web apps is amazing. (yes, you do have to wait 10 min) Finally your contacts, iCal events and email is available anywhere.

mobileMe at $8.22 a month is really not that bad, considering you get 20GB of space.

The major issue that Apple really needs to address is with the web-galleries on older machines. If you machine cannot process fast enough you get a dreaded slow script error panel. People click always click the wrong button and they don't see your gallery. I have been contacted by several friends that couldn't see my gallery and that is embarrassing.



4 out of 5 stars MobileMe works for me   July 29, 2008

Read a lot of the negative comments on this product. I have to say, that after a few days of hiccups, all is working fine. Just about to renew my account.


1 out of 5 stars No mail for over a week   July 26, 2008

No mail for over a week.
Usually get from 10 to 50 emails a day.
Cannot recommend.



2 out of 5 stars MobileMe is a MobileMess. Cloud computing in a haze.   July 25, 2008
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I rarely post reviews on Amazon, but I have been so disappointed not only with MobileMe but also Apple's total lack of customer support when it comes to MobileMe. Basically, Apple has over-promised and under-delivered on this product. Sure, they will eventually fix all the problems, but I feel like I have paid $100 to be a beta tester.

I have not received email through MobileMe in 9 days now. When trying to use the iDisk feature to upload files to my online iDisk, I get a cryptic error message and cannot access the MobileMe folder on my computer until I reboot. MobileMe is full of random bugs. I couldn't update my credit card information for 2 weeks. My online mail stated that I had new messages, but after clicking on the mail link, there were never new messages.

There are estimated to be around 20,000 customers who cannot access their email from MobileMe. Apple has posted an apology, but it has been more than a week now with no fix. Seems Apple has some major problems they aren't admitting. I'm guessing they lost people's emails that should have been backed up. Free services like gmail seem to do a better job lately.

Supposedly loyal customers are being given a free month for all the troubles Apple has caused. I have yet to receive an email or an extension on my service. Emails to Apple go unanswered.

I would steer clear of MobileMe until Apple gets their MobileMess fixed.



1 out of 5 stars Choose carefully...   July 25, 2008
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

If you're reading this, it probably means you have a choice between adopting Mobileme or not. Apple did not give me that choice. I was told that my .mac account would become a Mobileme account on such and such a date. No chance to opt out, no "is this ok with you?" Everyone with a .mac account automatically got switched to Mobileme.

Imagine the outrage if everyone using Windows had been automatically forced to move to Vista? But for some reason, Apple thought this strategy was just fine. Perhaps if the service had performed as promised, it would have been acceptable (although still questionable in my book), but it didn't. In fact, it still is not working. Like thousands of others, I've had no .mac mail for over a week--and like thousands of others, I've seen no sign of any support or concern from Apple. This is the height of arrogance--and it's truly baffling because I never expected this from Apple.

So if you really want to experiment with MobileMe and you are willing to buy something that is not working for a significant number of tech savvy folks, just be sure you don't use it for anything meaningful.
