Immobilized Online

Earlier I commented on how the quality and reliability of Apple's online offerings had driven me (and my $99/year) away from the company's paid service. I expressed hope Apple would treat its dotMac customers better as the transition to the new MobileMe service got underway, but admitted concern that service outages indicated otherwise.

New reports suggest Apple doesn't think it's got much of a service obligation for the $99 it collects. I'll not be subscribing.

Update: at least one frustrated user got tired of watching dotMac service failures for insight into whether MobileMe had finished transitioning, and created this URL for checking on it: http://ismobilemeup.com/ Very funny.
