MobileMe is up, finally

This morning I am finally able to log into my brand spanking new MobileMe account.  The rollout took much longer than Apple thought it would but I am finally in.  I already had a .mac account so this new MobileMe account was already part of the rollout and I can now get in.  It’s too early to give much about what I think of it as I haven’t gotten to play with it much but so far it seems a bit slow on Firefox on the MacBook Pro.  More as I get some time with it.

My Entourage stuff is accessible out of the box which is very good, I was concerned about that.  Today I’ll see how it works under Windows.

  • I’m still ahving issues. No calendar sync from Outlook on my PC. No idisk. Contacts are working but that’s all really. Hopefully they’ll get it sorted soon.

    Also, can anyone tell me if MobileMe can sync emails that are from existing non .me email addresses? ie. will i be able to sync my pop3 email accounts with my iphone through mobile me or do I need to look at an exchange account?

  • Not sure if you can answer this, but will MobileMe enable a CalDAV-type service? I would like to be able to have my iCal calendar available (with control) for other to see from their iCal. I also want to be able to add/delete/modify events between us… like an Exchange server?

  • update.. mobile me is now working. all needed to do as change all my calendar prefs (date format etc..) to those I use (ie DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY) and my calendars all appeared. So all is good now. still not sure how the email thing works though.

  • Any support of tasks? How will you get around the lack of tasks?

  • It’s funny, one of the most exciting things about MobileMe has been completely stripped away and no one is really talking about it. “Share File” is not longer an option when selecting a file on your iDisk. The feature appeared in the original MobileMe video that loads when you log in, but has now been chopped from the new video. What happened?!!
