PJI have to admit, as one of the 36 purchasers of WindowsMe, I immediately thought of the
similarity of the logos when Apple revealed it.
[pic of WindowsMe and MobileMe logos that I can't get to upload through blogger, dammit]
My current opinion of mobileMe (without having touched it, and I’m acting as if you care,
since it works in the Windows and online world, too),
1) Still too expensive. Make it $40/yr, and I’ll consider it.
2) Not enough storage space to do anything revolutionary for me. I’m sure Apple wants to
make sure they aren’t competing with their own backup solution (TimeMachine).
3) Where was it 3 years ago, when it was really needed!? Nowadays, people can expect
to have a laptop with them at all times (at $500 a pop, why not?), along with their cool-guy-phone
(less than $500 a pop), so they would be syncing their phone contacts and their computer
contacts all on their primary computer.
4) I still think it will help out many a person, and the online email seems nifty. Don’t think
I need it though, and for mere fraction a month I get really sweet web hosting with a lot more space.
