Bummer it's not up yet, but you know it will be up and solid anytime now. Not to mention there are some apple people busting ass to get it up and solid before iphone has officially released in all 20 countries! This weekend I believe is going to be the most mobileme (.mac) software Apple has ever sold! They have to work the kinks out (Get it online!), they will have it polished sooner than later IMHO
oh dear. They have really screwed up the launch of mobile me. Access today has been sporadic and it seems that, for me, firefox is better and safari!
I was only able to log on twice today and it seemed like I was using a dial-up modem.

Same problem here. And my partner as well. We're in SF. The pain in the ass is that most of his email comes through that account and he cant access it in any way. That 's not a small thing.
I laughed so hard during this that tears came to my eyes. Great job. I'm sure that there are engineers at Apple right now that are showing just about the same behavior as shown in this video.
MobileMe has screamed "F-, Do-Over" since it was unveiled. Lets see:
Logo - lame
Service - shoddy
Product - garbage
Worst. Apple. Effort. Ever.
I'm really really amazed...
Whats happening to Apple?
I mean:
1. Pathetic Design (iDisk above is a pretty good example)
2. Horrible implementation (24 hrs since its gone and still not back yet)
3. Software Update Leaks (not one but 2... and also something as imp as 2.0)
4. Leaked App Store (When SJ himself said it to open today at 10:00)
The last and the most scariest point:
5. Microsoft like symptoms (even worse)
Well MobileMe was clearly an afterthought, if I remember correctly it wasn't announced at the SDK event, so clearly hasn't had much time to be R&D'ed and tested. They should've waited to release this if it wasn't ready...especially seeing how it wasn't crucial to the iphone 3G rollout.
I predicted before the launch that MobileMe would make the iPhone look bad and here we go.
It looks a lot like a Dell D630 to me, but with a little Photoshopping. (The ridge in the bezel isn't on the Dell, and the oblong screen pad is a little higher than it is on the Dell, but the round screen pads are exactly right.)
AT this point its beyond acceptable. Its very close to a minimum class action 20% credit for the year.
MobileMe wasn't an afterthought - they trademarked the name well before the SDK event. It's just that they didn't have anything to show, and didn't want to cause an Osbourn effect by announcing the successor to .Mac so long before it was to be introduced.
And SproutCore, the framework MobileMe is based on, has been supported by Apple for even longer. I believe they also hired the guy that made it.
They're having a few launch issues. It's an inconvenience that lasts a number of hours. It's not the beginning of the end of Apple, and it's not an immediate failure. Nobody's used the service yet, so hold your judgement until it's actually released and tested.
