great price compared to retail January 6, 2009 R. Fridkin (Chicago, IL USA) ive been a mac user for years now, and ive always had mobile me (formerly .mac) and while a lot of people find it a waste because they can get their email for free somewhere, ive always been a fan of it. you can store files on the iDisk server and i also use iWeb for my website and everything is easily done with the aid of mobile me. i usually buy it on thanksgiving when its discounted but seeing as they didnt this year, i got it off of amazon instead. i just use this code instead of auto-renewing for 100 dollars. their big thing about mobile me is the ease of syncing but to be honest, they do get some delays in the email from time to time. personally, i think this is a nice tool for keeping everything in 1 spot (file storage/website/email/photo sharing) instead of 5 different programs/sites - granted, it would be much cheaper if you did it separately (email/photosharing are free, you could probably pay for a site and storage pretty low) but the feature of this is to be seamless with your mac and have 1 central spot.
Fantastic integration and polish. January 5, 2009 J. Roy (Corona, CA USA) I've been a .Mac/mobileme subscriber for years, and the real value is the integration with my system. One-click publishing of photos and movies at full quality, plus fast reliable email and web hosting, flawless sync between all 5 of my macs and iPhone... People will claim that you can get most of these services for free in various other places, which is correct. The value here is in the convenience and integration that you won't find with any other service. It's no secret that Apple had some major issues with the relaunch of MobileMe, but that was a minor hiccup in what has been for me a rich and robust experience over the years. HIGHLY recommended.
Becoming the product it should have been at launch January 1, 2009 Shelly Ackerman (Langley, WA USA) It's no secret that MobileMe had a very rough start. My e-mail was pretty much out of commission for the first couple days. Since then though, it's been great. The service has been reliable and quick every time I've used it for months. I keep all the files I need to access from multiple computers (Macs and Windows) on iDisk. I keep my mail, calendar and address book synced to my iPod Touch through MobileMe. It's integrated well with iWeb so I host my blog and web site there. Apple seems to have worked the bugs out of it. The only reason it didn't get the fifth star is the price. It either needs a lower price or more functionality.
Great Value December 28, 2008 R. Benton 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Why pay full price for the Mobile Me renewal when you can buy it on Amazon at such a discount? The product shipped quickly and arrived in time for my renewal. The box even had the original price ($99)! I will be renewing this way for the years to come.
Much Improved December 20, 2008 David Illig (Maryland) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have stuck through DotMac/MobileMe through thick and thin and, for me, it is improved to the point where it is a necessity. The convenience of having the address book and contacts synched between all of our mobile devices and the several Macs at home easily saves me more $ (time still=$) than Amazon's $76 annual fee and even Apple's $99 fee.
