MobileMe

I did a search and didn't find anything (at least since the 'new azine' has been up...not long), so if there is already a thread on this, please post the thread, and mods, feel free to close.


For those that have a MobileMe account...do you really feel like it's worth the fee?

Keep in mind too that I don't have an iTouch or iPhone. Just a MBP.

I really wanted it to have a .mac email, but for $100 and me not having either an iPhone or Touch, it seems like it may not be worth it.

Are there any 'hidden' features not well known that really make the program??

I have it, but I also have Iphone, without the phone I don't feel it would be worth it. I just really like the contact syncing and "push" email, plus my first year has been extended now 90 days for free which is sweet.

IMO, you really have to take basic web hosting into account when considering the price. If you'd be paying $5 per month for web hosting elsewhere, then you should really knock that "baseline" $60 off the MobileMe price when considering if the annual fee is worth it.

I signed up with 1&1 a while ago only to discover that I didn't really need anywhere near the features they offered. I'm probably going to cancel my plan with them and just stick with MobileMe.

So you say it's worth it?

Totally depends on what you want to do and any ambitions you have. iPhone stuff aside, someone who wants to tweak the look of their photo galleries might hate MobileMe while the guy next door to him that just wants to get stuff posted quickly might love it.

if you buy it in an apple store its only 69 bucks, at least the last 2 years I have had to renew it has only been that much...I personally like it, don't have to carry around flash drives, everything that I need I just upload to my storage and its really easy and you can access it anywhere...

I think its worth the money personally, shit I spend more on dumber shit al the time

I'd say it's worth it w/ an iPhone. Although I've been a .Mac member since 2001, so...
