Mobile Me is Apple’s cloud computing service that includes email address (@me.com), 20GB of online storage, syncing of email, contacts, calendars, photos, notes, and bookmarks and Find My iPad/iPhone. The service comes with the pricetag of $99 a year for a single user, which is almost reasonable when you look at all the features, but overpriced when you realize that most of these features can be used for free through Google, Dropbox and the like. The service works well but could use a redesign, mainly iDisk.

I’ve been a subscriber of Mobile Me for about a year and half now and I subscribed because it’s a simple solution and I’m not a techie. After the first year I wasn’t going to renew, but then Apple  add the Find my iPhone feature and I couldn’t find anything that would duplicate that so I stayed.

But according to MacDailyNews’ source Mobile Me will be free “sooner than later… depends on certain facilities going operational.”

Sounds good to me.
