Apple MobileMe in concept is an out of this world and easy to use technology that will have you updated instantly and everywhere, this new Cloud based service promises to put Apple in the front of every major Personal Information network service provider.

But MobileMe has been the most unsuccesful launch of any product Apple has delivered, it has been critized for its slow-to-crawl malfunctions that has plagued it since its introduction in conjunction with the iPod 3G, which it will served as the main source for update and syncronization.

Apple acknowledged that there is a big bug in the service and is planning a fix and at the same time gave an additional month to its subscribers, while users worldwide are angry because the poor transition from the .Mac service to the new and refreshed MobileMe.

Something important to notice is that MobileMe is based in Exchange and this is the first time Apple deploys a system or service based almost completely in the technology of Microsoft, at the same time Microsoft is beta testing Mesh, a similar service that will compete directly with MobileMe. Mesh will be offered free. The ironic part of this story is that Apple has been joking about Internet Explorer and its lack of usability when it comes to MobileMe on Windows PC, but the service is unusable on any browser, not just IE.

If I were Apple, I stop billing my clients until the system is up and running and all the features promised work flawlessly, this is a shame situation for Apple and its users and need an immediate fix to save the Service from massive client desertion.
