MobileMe Email

MobileMe is actually kind of cheap considering most blackberry plans cost at least $35 extra a month for exchange, etc...

I watched the MobileMe video and read up on the site, but couldn't find any information on syncing other, additional accounts. Does anyone have any idea or has Apple given any indication of if and how they will implement this?

You can't sync other email accounts with MobileMe. You could forward your other accounts to your me.com address but that's not the same thing. There's a big debate about it on Apple's discussion forums here:

Ok, so I can push my email with Gmail or Yahoo for free, but can I sync my contacts between my PC (Outlook), iPhone and Mac (Address Book)? Or is that only possible with MobileMe?

wait a minute wait a minute you mean to tell me if I buy this mobile me I can't hook up my 2 @yahoo accounts to it? If not then its useless to me. I have 2 email address that I check all day and if I buy mobile me I'll have a total of 3 email addresses I need to check every day all day? WTF. Or what will I have to go to every web site and forum and my banks cell company ebay paypal to change my address on each site it a new .me address mobiles gives me.......cmon I have had one of these email adds since 1997 I do want moblie me but if I cant get my current email accounts to be pushed threw mobile me I'm out.

Don't you realize that if you set your iPhone for the Yahoo Mail using the built-in set up on the iPhone, your Yahoo mail is automatically pushed to your iPhone. Yahoo mail recognizes the iPhone and pushes the mail to it!

for the people that complain about the $$..you can just as easy find it cheaper online.
then again..people would complain about the service even if it was $5.

exactly. I think MobileMe is going to be well worth the $99 a year. It is the same amount I shelled out for .Mac and MobileMe will provide so much more. Well worth it.
