MobileMe
I’ve had a .Mac account for several years now… Not that it’s ever been worth $99/year but I’ve had my @mac.com email address for some time now and I really don’t want to lose it… But the shift to MobileMe will probably see Apple losing my business.
When I heard about the push service and all of the nice sync’ing I thought it was going to be pretty cool… but then I heard that the email addresses are going to all migrate to @me.com… How egotistical does that look - sending an email from myname@me.com?!? But I figured I could live with it… but not the bloatware.
MobileMe is one of the slowest, bulkiest systems I’ve seen… And it’s sad. It’s sad because Apple could have done something really classy and effective with it. It’s sad because the execution is no way to show off their new Javascript framework, SproutCore.
Update: Walt Mossberg agrees…
