Fine with me - transfer my emails/aliases and calendar/contact sync info from the MobileMe ID to the Apple ID I use for purchases. No license transfer necessary.
OTA installation failed
I just tried to update from b6 to b7 via OTA, and unfortunately, the install stopped, the device rebooted, and started up in DFU-mode. Currently, iTunes is downloading iOS 4.3 in order to restore.
The device is an iPad 2 WiFi. The OTA updated worked flawlessly on my iPhone 3GS. Hope it's not a general problem.

Straight out of an Apple support representative, decided to just ask for myself rather than pick through conflicting information.
You can migrate MobileMe to an existing iCloud account. That is, if you migrate your Apple ID to iCloud and has all your purchase history, and you have a separate Apple ID just for MobileMe, you don't have to manage two separate iCloud accounts just to keep all your information.

i updated just fine on my iPhone 4.....however my friend's 3gs is completely shot now. He updated OTA and now his phone is stuck in a constant cycle of Apple logo, restart, Apple logo, restart. It won't even recognize the phone in iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
well thats weird since apple's documenation states that's not possible..... it says you cannot merge accounts.
If nothing else's, I hope it gets rid of the notification that's been on my settings app since beta 6.
There's no merging going on. iCloud is a separate service - you migrate accounts there. It seems the MobileMe migration is a different mechanic to the Apple ID migration. When you migrate MobileMe, you first migrate the Apple ID to iCloud then move the MobileMe account to that iCloud account, but apparently you can move it to the iCloud account of your choosing: including the iCloud account created when you migrated the original Apple ID.
It's not merging. For certain use cases, it's effectively merging accounts, but not technically. And there's lots of other use cases where people are still stuck with two (or more) accounts, but at least this covers one of the primary ones resulting from the misleading information when signing up for MobileMe.
Yep, although it starts playing when it's "buffered" and you can stop the download. Although, there's no way to delete songs, so it's kind of annoying. I can't listen to my whole library, because it won't fit on my phone (unless I'm missing something).
