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.
Imagine running beautifully designed, easy-to-use Apple applications on your PC. At me.com, you can check your email, manage your contacts and calendar, share photos, and store documents. The applications are so intuitive and clutter free that me.com could become your new desktop. On a PC, MobileMe works seamlessly with the applications you use every day. You can use Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Contacts on XP or Vista. MobileMe automatically pushes your email, contacts, and calendars ? and even your Safari or Internet Explorer bookmarks ? to your other computers, iPhone, and iPod touch. If you have more than one PC, use MobileMe to keep email, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks the same on all of them. If you have a Mac and a PC, they can share the same information. MobileMe will keep your computers, iPhone, and iPod touch in sync and up to date. 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.

Summary: Dear God, what a mess...
Comment: Mobile Me is a total mess. I would recommend that anyone who is thinking about using it or puchasing it have their head checked. And after the response from Apple, that goes for all Apple products.
In the conversion from .mac to Mobile Me, all of my contacts were lost. Five years worth. Of course, Apple Support told me it was my fault. (Never mind that I was paying them to keep my data safe on their servers, with promises from them of stability). The consolation? Three free months of Mobile Me, a crappy service at a $25 value. That will not even pay for the first 30 minutes of my time trying to gather all of my contacts back.
I have used macs and apple-related products exclusively for several years. I was a convert from Windows to Apple. Now, I am more discriminate in my selection of technology-related products and understand that Apple is more style over substance. Thick-rimmed glasses and pretentious commercials have very little to do with quality and customer support. It is very unlikely I will continue to patronize Apple in the future.

Summary: Pretty good deal
Comment: Mobile me is an interesting service if you use all the features. It does not do any one the great.. but does most of them well. Look into each feature in detail before you buy. Many of the features can be done on free sites as well or better.

Summary: Everything in Sync!!!
Comment: It was a difficult transition, but everything is working great now. I like not having to enter names or calendar info more than once. The syncing features are improving on a daily basis. Being able to enter a name or date into any of my devices, and it be available on any of my other devices is a cool feature. I've had .Mac since 2001 and can honestly say that the only interruption in email service for me was during the mobileMe transition. Those interruptions are a thing of the past, and in the unlikely hood that there are more Apple will reconcile with customers like no other company. For the problems we have had thus far we were given 90 days free. Blackberry never did that with their numerous outages.

Summary: Great now after rough start
Comment: Buggy at first, but everything works great now. I love how updated contacts, bookmarks and calendar changes on one device just appear on the others. This is sweet, enterprise for the rest of us!

Summary: Working great for me now!
Comment: I was like most here when MobileMe was launched...it was a nightmare...about the worse product launch I've seen in some time, if not all time. Couldn't get email, web apps didn't load, iPhone set up would crash, etc. Apple was slow and muted to respond.
But that was then...July 11.
As of now (Aug. 11), just about everything works great for me. My email is stable and functioning. My contacts are all there. Push calendars, contacts and email works perfectly and instantly with my iPhone, including my Entourage/Exchange items. Syncing between my office desktop and personal laptop is flawless (which by the way, what's the big gripe about a 15 minute interval between PC syncs?! When is it critical for you to have synced information on 2 or more computers within 15 minutes?!).
There are definitely things that need improving like the dual listings on Exchange/iCal-Contacts entries on the iPhone; the ability to have shared calendars (which right now is limited to CalDAV server solutions like Mac OS X Server); better photo editing/sharing tools on the Gallery; and updates for Backup or another file backup solution to better integrate w/ MobileMe, especially for the Family Pack members.
Anyway, I'd say give MobileMe a shot now. Lord knows, there have been plenty of other software releases that have had mountains of problems at launch (Vista, Leopard, Lotus, etc.) It definitely does not have a quarter of the issues it had at launch and really has become quite a nice replacement for us previous .Mac users. I find it to be an excellent solution for mobile users, especially those with iPhones and/or Macs.
