Comments on: A year later: Is MobileMe finally worth $99?

Apple's MobileMe hardware/Webware hybrid service has been out for a year now. Is it finally worth your hard-earned cash?

Sorry, but MobileMe is still not worth it. There are a huge variety of services that accomplish the exact same things. In the case of the Windows Live offerings, they integrate almost as deeply into Windows as MobileMe does into the Mac. And in many cases, the services offered by competitors are vastly superior. A few months ago, I was on the hunt for a group of services that would replicate the MobileMe experience on all of my computers (MacBook Pro laptop, Windows desktop at home, LInux destkop at work). I was very pleasantly surprised at just how close I was able to get to a truly cross-platform arrangement. (http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/02/27/mobileme-alternatives)

MobileMe still looks kind of expensive to me. Just looked on http://www.compareonlinestorage.com and most services offer at least 100 Gb storage space for the same price as a MobileMe 20 Gb account.
