very disappointed that gallery is going, apart from contacts etc syncing, this is the most important thing for me
easy enough to move to Flickr (I use this anyway for non family pictures)

Has anyone seen mention of the fate of back to my Mac? I use it almost every day.

I'm surprised at keychain sync going away...
Dropbox has some issues. I used to recommend them, but I do not anymore. There are now many alternatives and few have the issues dropbox has.

As someone who has had to support iWeb users for the past couple of years, I, for one, am very happy that the web publishing component is being phased out. The web publishing aspect of .mac/MobileMe has never worked properly and has been a total nightmare to support and troubleshoot, especially since nowadays you can get a decent web hosting package for less than a dollar a month through some hosts.

I just found his tweets and its odd the Apple PR would tell him one thing, and then today announce something different. They could have said their usual "No Comment" remark instead of lying to Josh.
Screw that man... I m a long time dot mac user, first the dot mac album, and than the gallery, and now you wipe the gallery function off... totally WTF... and the thing is, is Apple think 5GB is enough for current dotmac and mobile me user? I have more than 8GB of files and mail in my iDisk already....
Dreamhost and 1and1 are two that I recommend. Dreamhost recently had a sale where you got unlimited hosting for a year and a free domain name for 9 bucks. I've been using them for a few months now and haven't had any issues.

That's a shame about iDisk, it's really useful and really well integrated. I guess it's all part of the transition away from having a visible file system, which I don't think I'll get used to too quickly anyways!
I'm afraid it'll make sharing documents and files from the iPhone to windows computers quite difficult!

The two features that hurt me the most:
1. Gallery
2. Keychain Sync
C'mon Apple. Keychain Sync? It's probably the last thing I want you take away from iCloud. Sad.

I'm really gonna miss iDisk. It was a really nice solution for moving documents between devices and Macs. I guess it's DropBox for me but I don't find it nearly as perfect a fit for what I need.
I tried last weeks with switch one of my computer to iCloud account, if your have idisk auto sync with your computer, it will create a new image and save the files for you; but I m not sure if it also work that way if the computer isn't sync with your idisk

What's your budget?
You can get hosting for about $5 a month. I personally wouldn't go any cheaper than that.
I've been using Site5 for about 3 years now. Their plans start at $5 a month. I've never had a problem with them.

They won't be calling it anything - the file storage service will simply be discontinued. You'd have to move your iDisk files to your local storage or another service.. How about Microsoft SkyDrive? 😉

That may be what they mean, but it's not what they say. They say that you will lose synching if you transfer before 30 June 2012. Perhaps they mean that it will be available from that date. I certainly hope so.

I can live without the iWeb publishing though I do use it sometimes for blogs about my kids.
And iDisk is another I can live without but bummer.
The real tragedy is Galleries. Their interface is much better than Flickr, Picassa, etc. and I want something totally integrated. Really a shame there. Photo Stream is NOT the same thing by any stretch.
I was happy paying $99 a year. And for me I could care less about 90%+ of the iCloud features. Downloading/Streaming music I didn't think to sync. So what. Photo stream. Really, so what. Docs in the cloud. Whatever. Of course iCloud is free, it is almost worthless compared to MobileMe.
WHY NOT offer iCloud tiered. iCloud as it is for free. iCloud with iWeb hosting and Galleries and an extra 5GB of storage for the original $99 price point or even $49. Why remove what we use. It could even be an in-app upgrade. Apple gets $70 and Apple gets $29.
