That's the maximum I've ever paid since I first signed up to .Mac 6 years ago.
And to think, that's still overpriced!
I for one am actually quite excited about what may get announced today. If its done right the ability to have one central location where all your stuff is stored, music, films, documents etc with the ability to access them from any internet connection on any device (albeit modern apple devices) sounds very cool.
If this was possible on your own iHub or whatever they may call the new timecapsule this would be even better with very fast access when you are at home. It would allow my laptop to stay thethered at home without the need to ever take it with me as i would have all my stuff wherever i went.
One other thing that i would love to see but holding my breath on is a cheap iOS powered airport express that doesnt have an interface but supports HDMI as well as audio that could act as something to "throw" your video or music to. If they were nice and cheap you could have a few around the house and further allow my laptop to stay where it is even when at home. Just a few thoughts but think that this has the potential to be a very exciting set of announcements in my opinion.

The average price I've paid works out at just over £20 per year which I don't think is too bad.

What exactly is .Mac. If you have to sell me this service or product, can you do it in a sentence? I'm not trying to be facetious, but just trying to ask an honest question.

And here I thought standing in lines for days for the iPhone was bad, here's standing in line for an event you're already guaranteed admittance to with your ticket and involves you receiving no tangible item.
I hope those people don't expect their Macbooks to get through the entire night on the battery charge.

Ohhhh... good idea. I forgot that Apple just got all the music labels on-board for a 2nd time...
If that's true... it kinda makes Google's and Amazon's locker service look... well... like a locker service.
iTunes streaming from the cloud... sounds good to me.
Like I said before, you use the term "dumb down", while I'll use the word "simplify." Negative/positive spin.
Your constant negative tone is just way overblown. Try mentioning your opinion to Apple's shareholders on Apple's next fiscal conference.

Check it out, iOS 5 has been leaked. This guy posted a video.
Hell yes! I think I can wait half an hour...I hope!!

@TOPIC:
This obviously fake as Apple would never use 10p.t. Lucida Grande for any system info or otherwise in iOS. They have always used Helvetica and Helvetica derived fonts for anything iOS.
But even if this is true, I'm just sad that the homescreen hasn't changed.
Seriously, iOS needed a UI overhaul in the home screen department. People may live in the apps most of the time, doesn't mean that you're going to keep the same **** forever.

I'm totally with you on this one, but I can see why Apple thinks it needs doing.
OS X is as good as it gets (for me), so SL is probably as far as I will go.
For those with multiple Macs, iThis's and iThat's, closer OS integration would be nice. But that's not for me.
It'll be interesting to see what happens today, for sure!
Ah, I might be able to catch it before I go to work, then.
LOL! That was well done.
Email, address book & calendar which you can sync between your computers & iDevices and access from a web browser, online storage (which sucks), photo hosting, website hosting and now Find My Phone.
I know you can get free alternatives (some of which will work better) but MobileMe as it is now called is great at keeping your information up to date if you are running several computers and iDevices.
Hopefully iCloud will take the best bits of MobileMe and fix the bad bits while extending the syncing to all of your media.
£35 - eBay
£28 - eBay
£20 - Toys R Us !
£0 - Bullring Apple Store after they messed me about during the iPhone 3G launch
£30 - eBay
£15 - eBay (Bought 2 of these, old stock .Mac boxes)
All of them were boxed retail packages.
The beta might be available to developers but there's no chance of an official release today.
I agree it won't be on the same day, but no way it will take that long. I'm betting on the next week, or the latest by the end of the month.
Well, then you're gonna be disappointed. Aug-Sept is the earliest, which is around the same time as iPhone 4S.
