Good point. I bet we will. I think they'll update ME, iMac, Macbook and the last iPod classic though the latter is very unlikely.
You know, now that I found Dropbox, I never use my iDisk. It feels to me like Dropbox is the Apple designed app and iDisk is the 3rd party.
This is possibly the stupidest post I have read in a long time.
I suggest you check out the Canada's Copyright Act.
A little late to the party here but I believe Apple has already tipped its hand to MobileMe cloud using your home library. Take a look at he export options for the new iMovie on the iPad - see anything missing? (Hint, its been replaced with the words iTunes...)

A free service would be nice. With that 50+ billion in cash reserve they can afford it. It could possibly allow them to steal a small percentage of gmail accounts.
Is this a good time to jump on the 60 day free trial of MobileMe? Or should i just hold out of this MobileMe altogether and wait for the revamped?
Having a 3rd Party app doesn't mean worse integration and speed. If you try out Dropbox on the Mac, you'll notice that its syncing is BETTER integrated than iDisk (you'll never see a "refreshing" spinning circle in your Dropbox folder, like you do your iDisk), and its speed is faster than iDisk (Dropbox does data deduplication, cross-LAN sync for multiple Dropbox endpoints within the same wifi).
Arguably it's better on iOS too. The iDisk app on iOS is not very useful or good in comparison (no save locally option, for example).
Yes. Just eliminate the need for physical syncing and allow me to access my home computer files on the go (ALL FOR FREE!) and I will be happy...
I have. It's legal to download and illegal to resell or upload and if you set your upload speed in Vuze or Bittorrent to 1kb/s it's undetectable. its common knowledge actually. And i have checked, limiting your upload speed does not affect your download speed at all. for example, i can upload at 50kb/s and then limit it to 1kb and the download speed remains unchanged. And this whole thing is all a giant scare tactic. if the cops come knocking you can just store it all on an external somewhere and erase it everywhere else. as for the online archiving like iDisk even though i prefer Dropbox, you can delete it from there. if they hold onto a copy, then you can just say that it wasn't you because who honestly uses their true credentials online? i know i don't.

Since it is most likely going to be free your post is completely foolish.
Why are you trolling this forums just looking to show everyone how ignorant you are.. Isn't there something out there you actually know something about that you could spend your time on forums for that?
My mobile me was set to auto renew in 6 days. I just unchecked that. I'll wait to see what the new Mobile me is going to have and cost. If I pay them $99 now they would probably want to give me a $90 iTunes credit or some silly thing like that instead of refunding my money should MM become free. I can live without MM for a month or two until things shake out.
Risk
Not to mention the risk of EMP taking the cloud down at any moment. I wonder how far the new server farm is from a nuke reactor? They do have earthquakes in that neck of the woods.

Agreed. I can see this now.. "In 2012 a massive earthquake turned off the data centers of Apple.. everybody lost everything, the Mayans were right, details at 5"

False. idisk uses webdavs (https). Any windows and Linux with WebDAV can connect to iDisk.

Are you not a fan of something? Cars, teams, etc? We're not talking about going to war, it's just mobile me. Get off your high horse. Do you troll the Tag Huer forums and scream, "CASIO DOES THE SAME THING FOR TEN BUCKS!!!!"?
Yes, iDisk has always sucked. The service is through Akmai. Hopefully after Apple migrates everything to the new farm in NC, things will get better.
Mobile Me offers FAR more than what 'google offer for free'.
You get 15-20gb server storage space, you get public gallery spaces for sharing your photos, you get the ability to mount your storage on your computer and access it like any other external disc, you get the ability to backup first party and third party services to your iDisk. You get to allocate 5gb server space accounts to family members enabling them to store, create webspace/websites in their own domain account without it affecting your main.
You get email alias's alongside your .me or .mac email account.
You get to dynamically allocate / assign space to your email storage or data storage.
You get a public iDisk facility to share data (I use mine to upload files to the printers for work) and allow others to access and download files as you wish. You can even dynamically assign password for those files.
Where does google offer that other that a gmail email address?
I do not mind paying for mobile me. I use it a lot. I will be pissed off if they gimp users with this 'freemium' model just to appease those that do not currently use the service.
