Hotmail now forwards, reason to keep @mac.com?

Hey guys!
Ok so apparently msn now lets you forward hotmail to other services like gmail which work and sync FREE with mail app on mac and iphone/ipod touch.
My question is, since i only paid for a @mac.com adress for the mail app and syncing with my ipod touch and in the past iweb (which i no longer use) is there any reason to keep it?! like i can now keep my Hotmail adress which i use for msn messanger and have it forward to Gmail which syncs for free with ipod/mac mail app.

Is it that easy or am i missing something?? thanks alot guys!!

No, I don't think you need .Mac or MobileMe anymore. Unless you want to use iDisk or Back to Mac.
