5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
If you want to keep all your emails on the server or maintain large photo or video albums online, you'll appreciate the extra space. Whether it's worth the cost of a MobileMe subscription when a fair chunk of online storage can be put together from other providers at less or no cost is a separate question. My take is that you need to look at the service as a whole, and consider how much the integration is worth to you. A web-based version of Mail is still an central part of the offering. Apple's claiming a "refined interface" but I'll wait until I see it before passing judgement. The .Mac webmail always struck me as being almost right, so I'm hopeful that the MobileMe version will hit the spot.
The .Mac online Address Book was decidedly pedestrian, but the promise of an improved interface, (Google?) maps
integration and photo support should help things along. The Gallery is also being given a facelift to provide greater
control via the web rather than from Apple's desktop apps.
