MobileMe: a bug's life

While it is the title of a 10 years old Pixar's movie, it also summarizes today's experience of MobileMe users. We initially published on the main website as well as on our blog several news reporting numerous bugs of MobileMe. If at that time Apple quickly reacted by offering one month of MobileMe service, 30 days later the situation remains chaotic. If Steve Jobs acknowledges that Apple still has to learn how to deliver the top notch mobile internet service, Eddy Cue, freshly nominated to manage a new reorganized service, has a clear goal: bring MobileMe to the same quality level than the usual Apple's standards.
While this can happen, the daily misery for MobileMe users continues. While Webmail records numerous useless drafts, synchronizing your agenda between the iPhone and your hardware can quickly become a nightmare, and the expected cloud computing often leads to three different versions of your agenda: one from your iPhone, the one from iCal on your Mac, and the last one located on MobileMe server... Why do not we have the option to save a local agenda on the iPhone without relying necessarily on the bugged over the air synchronization? Similar bugs occur with the address book too, and here the risk is to simply lose precious contacts due to the same buggy synchronization service!
So, in summary, be very careful, and do not hesitate to save your important files or create archive of your address book and agenda, before MobileMe synchronization bugs mess them up. While waiting for the MobileMe to become the expected Apple's standard service, be cautious, and do not exclusively rely on it.
