Thank you, Apple for the $30 price cut if I buy a Mac, but that is hardly an incentive for those of us who already own one. The few bells and whistles added to membership packages haven't exactly awestruck me into renewing for another year at $100 - sorry. :(

You can buy it on Amazon for $50.
 
MobileMe iDisk App

I think this app looks fine- very easy to use, and I have no problem with the icon, because it looks like a Mac icon, and I recognize the cloud- what's the big deal?
 
samo

great to have

i like that the app works in horizontal mode as well, useful for long, similar file names

icon - same as on web app, but they are both kinda clunky - but not necessarily "ugly"
- what else would it be?, pushing the cloud design to the edges of the icon size would make the icon too similar to the mail icon

nice to stream movies instead of store on iphone

-------------
YES - the web app is TERRIBLE, it's function is fine, but capacity to perform said function leaves much to be desired - without an iphone mobileme is definitely NOT worth having
 
What about the crappy and pointless weather and stock apps. With 3.0, I expected them to at least update those, like how they managed to save the Caculator app, but nope, they're just lepers.

I'm wondering why they updated the Stocks icon but couldn't give Weather a makeover. Apple sucks now-a-days.
 
It would also be nice if you had a folder of pictures for iDisk.app to load them all so you can scrub through each photo like it was the photo app. Currently, you must manually load one at a time.
 
I'm paying 149.00 yr for 5 accounts (family Pack) in mobileme.

What are you using?

This is a good question. I would like a much cheaper alternative for a LOT less money, but I haven't seen one that does it all yet. I would like one that syncs with my hosting server like MobileMe does. A lot make statements, but when it comes to giving good info to back the statements.....
 
Little bit disappointed ... would have been nice to be able to upload an email attachment or photo directly to iDisk rather than just 'sharing' it

Feels like a very 1.0 app and given the time between announcing it and releasing it i can't say that they've knocked this one out of the park
 
amazon sells the family pack for $99 right now.


Can it be auto renewed every year for that price?

This is what is on Amazon:

MobileMe Family Pack [OLD VERSION]

List Price: $149.00
Price: $103.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping. Details
You Save: $45.01 (30%)

Old Version?


TRY AGAIN......lol
 
Hmm this would be a lot more interesting if it didn't require a $100/year subscription to use. Also if it created an actual file system on the phone that could be shared between apps..that would be useful.

yes, this is what i'm confused about. i thought this app was too allow the iphone to mount as a drive. i could have sworn when it was announced that they said you wouldn't necessarily have to have a mobileme subscription. just downloaded it, but i'm going to give it 1 star for "unable to use" and "false advertising" boo.
 
well i was going to keep mobile me for this, but its taken too long, and it looks like dropbox will have their app in the store in a few weeks, and probably better than the iDisk app in any event.
 
Apparently Apple just pulled the app, citing that it was redundantly offering features already available on the iPhone, such as the ability to sync through iTunes. It will be removed on all iPhones through a Push notification backdoor as part of the MobileMe scheduled maintenance. This outage is expected to affect 2% of all MobileMe users.
 
The only place to buy MobileMe is from Apple.

Dont get scamed by getting from a 3rd party or used???????


Used....that cracks me up.

By the way there is no sw to install just d/l a Windows control panel.

doesn't matter if it's an old version. it still works.

and no you can't autorenew for 100 bucks. you need to order every year from amazon/ebay/overstock to save the 50 bucks. i think 50 bucks is worth the hassle.

It is. It's very easy, just make sure you enter the code in your MobileMe settings before the annual renewal date and you are good to go. There is no reason to pay Apple's ridiculous pricing on this.
 
It's an okay app but it means very little to me if I can't take an email attachment, edit it in Docs to Go or Quickoffice, send it to my iDisk app, upload it and email multiple people with links to file.
 
This sounds very fine and dandy for .mac subscribers, but I like value for money so I went for my own webhosting and domain.
But how about letting us store our own files on these devices yet, like you can with the other iPods?
