This is a home setup (Windows for general stuff and Mac for music, using the iPhone at work. One thing I'm not sure will work is adding an Exchange account - wondering how that might work (or conflict!) with MobileMe contacts ... eeek! - rich Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:44:53 +0100 http://www.nziphone.com/news/apple/apple-apologise-and-clarify-mobileme.html#comment-111 Maybe you're not behind a corporate firewall like me?

Maybe I'm a lucky one eh?! ;-) - rich Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:53:20 +0100 http://www.nziphone.com/news/apple/apple-apologise-and-clarify-mobileme.html#comment-109 I signed up for my 60 day trial of mobileme the other day and wasn't very impressed so I cancelled it soon after. I also think it's incredibly cheeky how they require your credit card details for the free trial, and if you forget to cancel before your 60 days are up then they will charge you for a full years membership.

I haven't been following this part of things much. I had .mac years ago but just found the interface to be oddly (for Apple) unintuitive. When flickr came out I jumped ship and found other web tools to meet most of my needs. This has been probably the worst launch of any Apple product since the move to OSX. Are they becoming victims of their own success? - yuutamichael Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:29:03 +0100 http://www.nziphone.com/news/apple/apple-apologise-and-clarify-mobileme.html#comment-107 Hmmm...let's see. The service took longer to launch than expected. During that time Apple didn't respond as most service providers would and simply redirected users to another site. The site came and went repeatedly during that time. They released a software update and then quickly took that update away. The released a revised update and didn't advise anyone, we just discovered it. Not all their services are working. Not all the aspects of the system they said they were going to launch are now being launched (shared disk functionality from memory). Many users still can't get access to their systems or get errors reported even though the system works. Their push demos highlighted instant updates (that is what push is after all) and failed to mention anything else. Is that enough? You say it works. I've disabled it on my two Macs. It turned my Mac Book Pro into a wind turbine with the amount of disk activity it seemed to create and get the fans going. Plus which, as a Mac user, I just can't stand the name....so I'm sticking with my Mac.com address. - Philip Roy Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:00:49 +0100 http://www.nziphone.com/news/apple/apple-apologise-and-clarify-mobileme.html#comment-106 I don't see what the big deal is. It still happens, it's better than what we had before and it's still automatic! 15 mins delay? Puuhleeease!!! Kudos (sp!?) to Apple for the good comms though! - rich Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:24:44 +0100 http://www.nziphone.com/news/apple/apple-apologise-and-clarify-mobileme.html#comment-105 Hm, interesting. This is why Apple has so much consumer goodwill. Vodafone should take note that this is the proper way of speaking to customers. - yuutamichael Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:21:45 +0100
