We asked previously “Will MobileMe Be For Me?“, and the answer is: I’m not sure.
I now have it fully set up with my iPod Touch, and it is very nice to have all my calendar events and contacts updated constantly. However, for a lot of people in this world, I highly doubt they will have much use for it. How often do you really update your contacts? Is it worth having your calendar updated every 15 minutes if it costs you $99 a year?
For me, yes, I need these features, but not everyone is going to need this. Add in that I do most of my calendar work on Google Calendar, I would find this totally useless if it wasn’t for Google Sync keeping Outlook and Google Calendar constantly updating each other.
Overall I like MobileMe, but I do find it lacking in some areas, and I hope they will be fixed in coming updates.
- Does not sync with Google Calendar.
- Syncs bookmarks with Internet Explorer and Safar, but not Firefox.
- Seems to use battery life a bit faster.
I’m still glad I took the plunge, but would like to see some changes to it down the road.
