I've had it for a year and I don't use it with any Apple service other than iTunes for music & now the App Store for apps. Remember, the iPhone works with PCs through iTunes for syncing with Outlook data. Plus, it now works with Exchange natively. Actually, a year ago I was using it with my hosted Microsoft Exchange server through IMAP. All of my mail on it now works with Gmail (both personal and business). </p> <p>As far as MobileMe not "liking" IE7, according to Apple, it's due to IE7 not supporting some web standards. </p> Martin, that’s a great question, but I think you’ve overlooked or discounted some aspects of the iPhone.

As far as MobileMe not “liking” IE7, according to Apple, it’s due to IE7 not supporting some web standards.

Hi,

I saw your comment “Part of the reason I’ve moved away from Windows Live in general is because it’s too PC-centric for me”. My only question would be shouldn’t you apply the same logic to the iPhone and associated services which seem much too Apple focused. Their MobileMe service does not even like Windows browsers such IE 7. Just curious

I still use Windows Live Hotmail instead of Gmail. Larger mail storage limits last I checked, but it’s just where I’ve had my email accounts for ages, and I refuse to give up my addresses.

I still use Windows Live Messenger, because it’s the “cleanest” yet most functional messenger experience compared to AIM and Yahoo (and I have yet to meet anyone who actually uses Google Talk). The voice/video experience is the most dependable in my usage. It’s also what I use at work (well, OK, Office Communicator is technically the same thing.)

That said, I obviously use Windows Live Mobile to make use of those two services, and my Sprint Mogul comes with the version that includes Messenger.

Oh, I should also add that I’m definitely looking forward to the Windows Mobile version of Mesh.
