Question Will You Renew MobileMe?

Subject title says it all... when your subscription runs out will you renew it?

As for me, as long as I own a Mac I will be keeping mine.

Voted for not sure yet, since I don't have MobileMe.

If I leave my current job and the new one does not have Exchange support, I will most definitely be getting MobileMe. I know there are free options (mail2web), but I might just bite the bullet and go with the more robust features of MobileMe.

There is just too much to give up with the iPhone/Mac/MobileMe combo. Honestly, I don't see how someone with these devices could give up MobileMe. It's a perfect match.

I can defintely see the advantage. I'm thinking of going Mac for my next computer and probably will get Mobile Me then anyways

If I didn't have my own exchange server then I would be using mobile me! I have never had my contacts so detailed and organized on my phone ever

PS Didn't vote because I don't use it and don't plan to because of my current setup

I had it, used it for a year, and really enjoyed it but I just could not justify the $99 a year for it. And even though I used a @mac.com( before they changed it to ME) email address, after awhile I noticed my darling IMAC started sabotaging my regular email account. It literally started listing my mail account as 'offline' and I'd have difficulty sending email from it. No matter how many times I deleted and re-added the account it was still listed as an offline server.

I may try it again sometime. I did use the online photo album a lot and it was great to sync all my email and calendar events seamlessly between my macbook and Imac but I find I am not missing it all that much.

I *depend* on MobileMe to sync 3 Macs, and they pretty much ensure my environment is the same on every machine I move to, work and home and travel.

I paid the $100 *before* the iPhone came out, and I'll renew again automatically. For me the iPhone is just bonus -- awesome bonus, mind you.

Must. Have.

I have had MobileMe for two years. I will keep renewing it since it keeps getting better.

And btw, amazon has MobileMe for $70. Quite a savings.

I just have the iPhone 3G, Macs, and I'm trying to be frugal right now. But, if I got a Mac, I'd definitely want the convenience and power of MobileMe and it'd be one of the first things I'd go out and get.
