AmesMUG: Mobile ME

[Trevin Ward]

I've tried it out.  It's been rocky, and that's an understatement.  I
don't have an iPhone or an iPod Touch (*yet*... it's inevitable) so
I'm not using the push so much.  Having my address book accessible
anywhere is nice.  The gallery functionality is pretty slick.  My
parents live behind a big national firewall in the UAE for most of the
year.  They block Flirkr MobileMe (if things clear up) might be the
way I go.  The web apps are very slick, but sluggish (this has
improved since I first activated my trial).  Given that Google
Calendar just implemented the ability to sync with iCal I may be less
tempted.  My two cents.
