Apple Announces 24/7 MobileMe Live Chat Support

MikhailT said:
Because it is a paid service, in the world where the web 2.0 services are supported by ads instead, paid services are being out-competed by multiple free services and in this case for mobileme, google's services, MS's Live Services and Zoho and so on.

I disagree, I have an iPhone, macbook pro and an imac. Keeping them all in sync, while possible, is somewhat of a pain. Mobile Me makes it so effortless, when my trial ended and I didnt continue it, it was a massive pain.

True, mobile me isn't for everyone, but I think there are a large number of mac (and pc!) users that have multiple devices that need to be kept in sync.

And for £50 ($99) a year, its actually pretty good value (I think), especially with the added features of mobile me gallery and now chat.

Dan.
 
Has anyone seen the chat now button? I follow the instructions the page gives, but have not seen the chat now button appear anywhere. Can someone post a screen shot where it might be?? Also, Apple needs to add php support to MobileMe and even a lightbox to Gallery, that would make it better!

Ah, quitting and restarting Safari did the trick, never mind!

Okay, let me make myself clear again for everybody. This is not my opinion that MM isn't worth the cost. I answered a question to somebody who asked why somebody would think that MM wouldn't be successful. Don't agree or disagree with this. It is just an answer to a question.
 
MobileMe should be free with every Mac. It costs over $100 in Canada for the year, and I don't think it's worth it. Add more features, or lower the price (or both, please!).
 
1. mobile me is worth every cent and i spend $149 a year for a family membership. if you compare the services you get with me mobile me from online storage of 20GB to the syncing, web hosting, etc.. $99 a year is a steal.

2. just used the chat option yesterday for the first time and it worked great and i didnt have to wait long.
 
I guess I don't understand the problems with mobileme. It works exactly the way I expect, 100% of the time.... and I'm by no means a casual user. I'm an independent contractor and I heavily rely on my phone/computer for work.:confused:
 
You can get mobileme for like 60-80$ at either ebay or amazon. no need to pay 99$ at apple.
