Well, I hope your mom and girlfriend are patient with you until you’re ready.

@ Unhappy

Agreed. Mobile Me gave me all kinds of fits when I had it.

No worries since I have issues using a "highy advanced device". You, my mom and my girlfriend love their iphones.

Also, your original "cool toy" remark is an insult. Surely, you don't expect not to be insulted back.

Sorry, you're an unhappy camper. I would be too if I used a BlackBerry.

Then you shouldn’t have bought it for your freakish business using a freakish system.

@steve

Why is it when a gripe is posted the fanboys get all flustered and respond with insult? I am here because I have owned an iphone for 2 years. If you use it for 2 businesses they must be very small or nonexistant where you dont need BES-like synchronization. I get several hundred emails a day and tried everything to get mobileMe to work so I could use it for business. But keep playing with your toy as you play with yourself.

My Iphone is just an ipod touch now and for some reason i'm happier without all the stress.

@Unhappy Camper

MobileMe is awesome and has given me zero problems and is great for my two businesses. Sounds like you have personal issues with using highly advanced devices.

Your BlackBerry is a joke, and you know it because you’re here

Epic, epic failure this MobileMe is. Let me count the ways:

1) Terrible launch 2) Cannot synch calendar subscriptions in iCal 3) Wont sync work email, contacts, calendar if on enterprise server 4) Buggy as heck - several times I wake up and find all my contacts missing from my iphone 5) Only supported in Firefox 6) Web-based service / "cloud" incredibly slow and often down for maintenance

If Apple had refunded my $99, I would have been partially satisfied that they realzied this service is a joke. Instead, they gave me an extra 30 days of a bad service. Thanks Apple. Numbers 2 and 3 above are main reason why I had to get a Blackberry. One day, hopefully soon, they will make this truly "exhchange for the rest of us" and then the iphone can move from a cool toy/entertainment status to a legit business device.

Does anayone use the Glide web app to edit documents?

Would rather see iWork as a native app.

I would iWork on the iPhone! But I don’t want a web app I want it to run native on my phone, (perhaps an app store download?) as well as a native iDisk app
