Apple MobileMe Review

The good: MobileMe is built to keep the same data up to date on a Mac, PC, iPhone, and iPod Touch; expands storage from .Mac; interfaces of Me.com are easy to learn and attractive.

The bad: MobileMe's rocky launch made us question its stability; Calendar lacks key features; free or cheaper services can fill the needs of many of MobileMe's features.

The bottom line: If Apple irons out the kinks, MobileMe could be worthwhile for iLife and iPhone users who want to keep data on their Macs, handset, iPod Touch, as well as Outlook mail and calendars on the same page.
