MobileMe Improvements
Thursday, February 26, 2009 
I am a long-time .Mac (and thus now MobileMe) user. Prior to yesterday, some things about the service were pretty nice, but in general I was a paying member only because it was a little something extra to keep some data in sync. But it always had it's problems and always left me wanting more.
One of the reasons that I never stopped re-subscribing is because of the easy photo syncing that members of my family are subscribed to using iPhoto. Because they aren't necessarily tech-savvy, it makes the "just works" aspect very important. I only had to use iChat, control their Mac, and add the feed & they are done. No family tech support required.
Anyway, since yesterday I can honestly say that MobileMe is wonderful. The online interface is a whole lot snappier and it works. The mounted iDisk drive is a lot snappier too, and works. The restored MobileMe push is nearly instant, as I was playing around in my calendar and things were ping-ponging with quick ease.
Things that would never sync before (for whatever unknown reason) now work. I really love MobileMe whereas before I just liked it.
Now all Apple needs to do is to upgrade TimeCapsule in the next OS X update (because my wife's Macbook has never been able to complete an initial backup to it even over Ethernet). Yes, and we're on our second TimeCapsule. Keeping it just for the 802.11g and the hopes that the laptop will eventually be able to do the TC thing I enjoy on other machines.
