App Switcher looks pretty but that's it. Without a keyboard shortcut to invoke it it's kinda clumsy.
Be better if it were a simple drop down like the account on the right.

Yes, I like that one too. However, MobileMe is slower than ever for me. I made a trial account recently to see the new changes and if the performance of the website improved.
Overall, I'm still not convinced to pay 79 dollars for this. It's rich of useful features and I like the convenience to sync all my daily data on the fly between the web, my Mac and my iPhone. But the web application is still far too slow and not even compatible with older browsers, which may university library unfortunately still use (Yahoo works perfectly, for comparison). This service doesn't need to be free, but 79 dollars and then this superslow webapp? Come on, Apple. We deserve better than this.
Oops, you're quite right. I'm 5 years out of date. So there aren't any more paid-for browsers any more. Thus making my point even better!
Not for me. Yahoo Mail is three times faster than MobileMe and even that service isn't really snappy.
I can't see anything in this message that I don't support - especially the last sentence!
I don't use the mm email very much for the same reason, which is a shame. It would be great to downgrade my gmail accounts and use mm email with that peace of mind.I see different purposes for this app. It's practical if you have more than one iPhone, if your family members have iPhones and you added them to one MobileMe account or when one of your friends or colleagues has lost his iPhone. You don't have to wait to get to a computer but can access Find my iPhone on the way.
If a friend loses his iPhone, anyone who finds it can access his data until he uses the Find my iPhone service to lock or wipe it. A few minutes can be crucial. Or if he finds out that he lost his iPhone a few minutes ago, he can easily track it down by determining its location and playing a sound. He can use this app from a friend's iPhone immediately.
Before this app all MobileMe services could be accessed on the iPhone with the exception of Find my iPhone. You would have to use me.com to use this service. There's now an app for that so you can use the service when you need it.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TOOLBAR?
I don't have time to click the cloud icon, look for my app, and click that. That takes something like 10x the amount of time.
Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggh!

Two thing, I liked the old way with the buttons at the top for switching. The way it is now, it kinda reminds me of choosing shutdown on windows, then having to hit the pull-down to shut the computer down. For mail, I wish in classic mode, there was a way to stop the contents of the message from showing in the subject section. I emailed Apple a couple weeks ago with no response.
Other than that, I like the Mobileme service ... ok, the could double the idisk upload speed.

What they are trying to say is that they want the ability to login to the www.me.com website from a MOBILE DEVICE to access the Find My iPhone feature. Though this WAS available before the app was released today, it is no longer available from an iDevice. When you try to go to www.me.com from either an iPhone or an iPad, it ONLY gives you the option to download the app, and the person is saying that they'd rather Apple just allow you to login to the website from your iDevice to check the status, which they no longer do.
That said, I don't know if the site works from a BB or Android or Palm device. Hopefully it does, and if so, that's at least a step in the right direction.
I agree that Apple should allow us to access the www.me.com website from our iDevices for whatever reason we want. Mostly, MobileMe friends of mine often want to check their email on my iDevice when they don't have theirs with them, and it's sad that this is not available. I am a Mac technician and I often need to login to a client's MobileMe account to look at their email or calendar or whatever from my iDevice, and I can't. Apple is CLEARLY doing it as a swipe at Google so that people won't always "go to the web" for their content, but will instead us an app. I think it's cheap, and Apple shouldn't have to disable a feature just to make a point. It's one thing to not enable a feature (Flash), but to TURN OFF a feature is just lame.
Is the Find My iPhone app working for anyone with an iPad? It's telling me "unable to download".
Edit - weird, I was finally able to download it by going through apple's actual website link as opposed to just going into the app store. Oh well.
