MobileMe service updated

by Chris Zehm on February 25, 2009

If you’re a MobileMe user, you’ve probably seen this by now. The login page now features an updated layout, along with news updates at the bottom. Smart move on Apple as users will now know about new features as they are implemented (for those who don’t read Smoking Apples at least).

The redesign is not all however. Looking through the service updates list, we can see they’ve implemented performance improvements for Calendars, Gallery, and fixed bugs all over. Contacts support has also been greatly improved. Overall usage experience feels speedier and more stable.

Coupled with the nitro javascript engine of Safari 4, the MobileMe experience is far superior to what it was 8 months ago. At least four of us at Smoking Apples have been using MobileMe for a while now, and we have no reason to complain. You?

I am one person who does not have too many complaints about Mobileme! As weird as it may sound, I use it to save files (I also explore dropbox) but I kind of like MobileMe, Mail has never been an issue (mostly am on IMAP on iPhone+Postbox client), Calendar works like a charm for me, I use the gallery to show off my son’s pictures, so you see overall am a happy man. May be I do not depend on it for mission-critical stuff and thousands of email stuff, so far so good! touch wood :-D

With the upgrades, things would get better. If someone needs or disagrees with me, feel free to write. Is it all worth for the $$? Apple gave a 90 day extension due to the initial bugs, so am not complaining :) —– vishnu
