Although, its what Ballmer does. Thats his thing. The same can go for Apple. Their thing is to attack Microsoft any chance they get. But calling ActiveSync "ActiveStink" is the same as them saying Intel is "Limptel" just because their competitor uses the same chip. Seems kind of juvenile to me. But then again, im a rational person.]]>Jun 9th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/

Firstly, there is no evidence that MobileMe uses Active Sync in any way. We know that the iPhone uses Active Sync to connect to an Exchange server but I'd be amazed if Exchange is involved in MobileMe.

Secondly, Phil almost certainly didn't mean to say "Active Stink"; that was probably an honest slip and it made him look dumb(er). ]]>Jun 11th 2008 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/

You're consider a Mac, iPhone, and Apple TV because?...

Mac - Nice all-in-one, but just because it's pretty and has an Apple logo doesn't mean anything. Dell, HP, and Gateway have developed their own all-in-ones, and sometimes Mac specs kinda sucks.

iPhone - Also nice, with multi-touch and ease of use, but it's still restrictive the way Apple sets it up, and you need iTunes to sync with computer. If you're looking at "camera, WiFi, and 3G", then there's other phones that have this for a long time already, and have been proven to perform very well. Apple doing it, doesn't make it magical.

Apple TV - I found this one to be very disappointing. Media Center and other home-entertainment hubs are much nicer. If you didn't notice, AppleTV offers no DVR. Why? To get you to buy content from iTunes. Plus it costs quite a penny, while WMC is free with Windows.

If you didn't note, I'm not try to discourage you from buying an Apple product. All I'm saying is that just because it's all glossy and pretty-looking, doesn't mean it's the best, and that Apple is the only one with enough "ingenuity" to have done this first. I've seen people suck into all that, and it's quite sad to see them rant in comment sections all the time. ]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/

Oh, for crying out loud. It's all about the end-user experience, and Apple typically delivers that in spades. I switched from Windows 5-years ago because the Windows user experience is rubbish. Your obsession that Apple is only popular because its shiney is just laughable - they're popular because they're more enjoyable to use to achieve things. Your problem is that until you've "switched" you don't appreciate this, i.e. you can't see both sides of the fence.]]>Jun 11th 2008 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/
I don't think $100 a year is very much if you need to keep everything synced up, but all people are different. MobileMe looks to be very simple and practical for storage, but for those that don't mind juggling accounts it can be done for less money.]]>Jun 9th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/
But from what i gather, Google and Live already have one hell of a leg up (especially Google) due to the free nature of the service. Besides hardcore mac users, i just cant see the justification for such a service where the alternatives (minus the push support) offer so much more for so much less. It just goes to show you the commitment Apple has to such a service. Google and Microsoft dump money into their internet integration services, and they ask nothing more out of you than for you to use it. Meanwhile Apple has the balls to charge you for their offering.

I would have alot more respect for the MobileMe service had it been free. It would indicate to me that they are committed to this space. By charging for it, i see no reason to ever buy into it (and 99 bucks isnt much, but its the principle). Even XBOX Live only costs 59 bucks a year, and the integration and entertainment you get out of that service makes this one look silly. They had a chance to revitalize .Mac and failed miserably.]]>Jun 9th 2008 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 10th 2008 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/

I've never heard anyone that said .Mac was worthwhile, so I guess nothing has changed.

For some reason, when I think of the word "MobileMe", I think of a mobile service that is for people who are all self-centric, because of the use of "me".

I mean, it's not like Apple caters to people who think they're all superior and self-centric just because they have shiny-looking gadgets, right? ]]>Jun 9th 2008 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/Jun 9th 2008 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/mobileme-gets-a-video-tour-and-john-the-apple-guy-is-your-guide/
