I re-read what I said, did not mean to say you lose all functionality. Here is a news story on the issue with @mac.com email.
http://www.macstories.net/news/sending-emails-from-mac-com-accounts-will-soon-be-impossible/
If you are using an old profile...not an issue. However, if you were to set up a new profile, which I have found is better when moving to a new device, then you cannot set up a new @mac.com email and send from it. You can set it up in another way to send from it, but you lose push email. This is what I got from Apple several months ago and what others have been reporting. This has not been too much of an issue for me, as I set my iPhone 4 and iPad up as new devices in April and June of last year. However, when/if I get another iDevice, and set it up as a new device, then this will become an issue for me.

Ummm, looks like you need to watch some episodes of Reading Rainbow before you look for scholarships. Walk before you run, my son.
I actually thought I should probably proof read this because some dunce is going to make an obvious joke about something if I dont. Then I thought let that special person have a bone. Besides shouldnt my typos and grammar mistakes be evidence of need for just such a donation?
If it isn't free it will fail. Simple as that.
MobileMe is a paid service that is so bad that by now I have taken upon me the huge step of completely migrating to the free Google offerings which sadly are far superior. Sad but true.
And Apple will have to do a LOT to get me to move back again.

If only the iPad had a keboard, a trackpad, a full OS, and perhaps greater connectivity options like usb and firewire, then it would really be a plausible standalone device. Heck, it probably wouldn't even need the touchscreen. You could even connect the keyboard with some sort of hinge so it all folds up. I'd pay a thousand dollars for one of those.
Completely agree. I fear they'll be shutting it down within a year though.
.mac email addresses still work and its been a lot more than a year.
"Buzz" as in Lightyear? - HA HA HA HA HA HA ! "Wave" - HA HA HA HA HA HA! "Google TV" - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
OMG that was so funny I am crying.

Apple fights DRM as much as current law allows. If you don't like that, blame the law and the companies who fight to keep the current status quo. At the moment, if the record companies don't want Apple to share, Apple can't do much and it's pointless to blame them.
I don't mind paying a little if it means I don't have to put up with advertising. Don't kid yourselves about Google being free, it's not free. You are making a bargain with Google where they give you a service that is free with the understanding that they can then sell your access to companies who want to know about you and sell you ads.
It does still amaze me that Dropbox managed to do iDisk 100 times better, and I'm sure they didn't need to spend billions on a huge datacenter. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (I still pay for MobileMe in hope that it will improve), but I can't think of a single thing from the past that was improved by throwing lots of money at it.
Or, one might consider the errors to be evidence of sloppiness and lack of attention to detail - and say "no scholarship".
The (at least) five errors in this post that you made lead me to believe "sloppiness".
Yeah because back when Google started in 1998 they weren't making anything of their own, they looked at Apples Spotlight technology and tried to copy it and use it on the internet, and to get a revenue stream they also completely ripped of iAds. And then Gmail was totally ripped off from Apples Hotmail serv... no wait, Hotmail is Microsoft, never mind.
I would not be surprised if iCloud is simply replacing iDisk, which is a part of the MobileMe service. This way, the "basic" core MobileMe services would be free (calendar, address book syncing, push email, etc.) and the iCloud storage could be tiered - i.e. a free nominal amount of storage and larger storage amounts at different price points.
recently, I have been trying to get more and more files and folders on the cloud just because I can use and edit them anywhere.
Cloud is the future for sure; 500GB for 50$/year and I'm in
Really, all your data across all your devices at seamless speeds with seamless integration. I am in bitch.
You realize that you can purchase a 1TB if not more HDD and just do a regular back-up. Another option is a NAS. $50/500GB get real. $50/5TB seems more doable considering HDD space is getting cheaper by the day.
Exactly, Google NEVER invented anything, they copied everything from Apple, even stuff Apple didn't introduce until 10 years later, or still haven't introduced, because, you see, Apple waited, lured them in a trap for tomorrows law suit.
LOL - great joke.
I'll bet that some clueless fanbois believe you, though.
Doubly clueless if they didn't catch your hint with the hotmail reference....
