The concept seemed nice but I was not happy with results. I had too many problems with email accounts getting duplicated on my phone. Three seperate times I had to delete all my email accounts from both machines and my phone (lucky for me they ALL used IMAP rather than POP) and then rebuild them all. I have several email accounts so this was a huge pain and time waster. I also just did not see the value in the service enough to pay $90 annually. Give it to me at $40 or maybe even $50 annually and I'll give it another try once they get more bugs worked out. It was very nice keeping my calendar and contacts synced on all devices though I have three Mac’s and an iPhone to keep in sync. The concept seemed nice but I was not happy with results.

I have 4 computers and it's great to keep them in sync. I also like the fact that I don't really have to connect my phone to my machine anymore. ( except for the occasional backup ) There are many workarounds to keep calendars and contacts in sync over the air, but I like to go through as little servers as possible and hate using google, so mobile me it is. Apple had so many issues with this service starting up, that I don't blame anyone for not renewing, but it's been working great lately and I'm willing to give them a chance. I’m keeping it.

Might get it later once my debts are settled, but 90 bucks? They ought to make some kind of free version either with ads or something. wish i could afford it, but if i could i would def keep it.

I had no idea you could purchase a yearly subscription from other websites like Amazon and Ebay. I just saved like 45 dollars - I was going to have it auto-renew my account, which was going to ring me 104 or so. Thank you for the heads up! More money for X-mas gifts lol Oh My!

I have two Macs (both with Windows running in virtual machines), multiple PCs, and two iPhones in our family. We use all of the included email addresses and sync at least two of those accounts over multiple devices. I realize that I could do much, if not all, of what MobileMe provides for free or close to it, but, as with most things Apple, the ease of setup, maintenance, and use all lead me to keep it.
