Rather nice site you've got here. Thank you for it. I like such themes and anything connected to this matter. I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon.

Truly yours

I use MobileMe on a PC. It took me a while to figure out the value but it serves as my backup server in the sky . It's also the only way to look at Powerpoints etc. on my iphone since there is no way to store them on the phone other than a kludgy email workaround.

BUT.... As far as I can tell, the PC does not support drag and drop to move files from one folder to another -- which makes no sense since it is web based. Anyone else experiencing this?

I still can't understand why MobileMe costs $100-year. I don't mean to sound exceedlingly frugal but that price point is a put off.

Why should Find My Iphone be limited to Mobile Me accounts?

It would seem someone should be able to replicate that capability. They must be using some facet of active sync to request the phone to send its location. Surely there's a Hack for that.

If you'd got an iPhone and no Mac, I can see how you'd be underwhelmed with MobileMe. Well, at least until the first time you misplace your iPhone.

With the Mac you've got 20GB of storage that syncs automagically with ALL your laptops and desktops. I save all my documents there and the next time I check a computer, it's there. On the Windows machines you have to mount it and access it slowly, no where near as seemless.

The same goes for calendars and contacts, automagically syncing between your iPhone and desktop and portable Mac applications (iCal and Address book) all wirelessly while updating every few minutes. Very nice. I don't know if it does this on the Windows side.

The Windows side does sync your bookmarks between the Mac & PC and iPhone (and iPod Touch) with IE or Safari. Of course it does on the Macs too, nothing nicer than having my

For those of you without Macs, are you somehow syncing your calendars and contacts to the desktop via MobileMe or do you have to use the web interface?

I'm on the 60day free trial and I'm definitely underwhelmed with MobileMe. Can't say at this point it's worth the bucks for me. Just my $.02

yea, they should put out a findmyiphone app for free for users to download in that sort of situation. the user who lost their iphone would just have to sign into the app with their mobileme info and it would locate it on google maps

@David: Exactly, I also hope they realize that some day and make it possible... Maybe they didn't do it to prevent abuse of the function (spying on partner or something) but the function really is only half as useful without being able to use it on the go (where a phone usually would get lost).

Call me crazy, but shouldn't I be able to do a locate iPhone from an iPhone. If I'm out with my family and my wife leaves her iPhone in a store at the mall, why can't I use mine to find it?

It about time they moved the Find My iphone portion. I got tired of going into the account settings everytime I wanted to to test it.
