MobileMe

About 2 days ago, I thought I would buy myself a year subscription to MobileMe. At first it seems to be very expensive for the amount of stuff you really get, but in the long run, it is really useful and worth all the money. I told myself this year that if I got an iPhone, I would buy MobileMe, but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t buy it.

My reasons for that are very simple. MobileMe is great for your Mac or PC, just with the email, the online storage, and keeping your contacts and calendars are stored in the “cloud” to view anytime. So that is why, for me, MobileMe wouldn’t be as useful as I would like it to be for the price of $109.00 here in Canada.

But with the iPhone, you can have your MobileMe email with you at all time, all your calender, contacts, etc, are synced across all platforms, meaning if I update a contact on my Mac, it syncs to my iPhone and vise versa with all calendars, bookmarks, email accounts, etc. It also allows me to view what I have on my iDisk with the Free app from Apple, I can locate my iPhone right down to the street from the MobileMe website, I can remotely wipe my iPhone if it gets stolen, and the list goes on and on.

From what you can probably see now, is that if you have a iPhone, MobileMe is a lot more useful to you than just having a computer with your MobileMe account on it.
