MobileME is up - sort of

By phoFuki • July 10, 2008

Dot.Mac went down for maintenance last night. Apple stated that it was for the launch of MobileMe, Apple’s new “Exchange for everyone else”. I figured that this was going to be the first in the series of launches from Apple this week. The thought of push email, contacts and calendar are some great featrues I’ve been missing since I shut off my Blackberry. Of course, I’m still unsure as to why Apple still refuses to put a ToDo app or include the ToDo lists from iCal on the iPhone. All these services are a plus for me as my family is spread over seeveral different services. The dot.mac service went down as promised and this morning full of anticipation, I woke up and turned on the computer. I was greeted by the new login screen…

I logged in, got the perpetutal spinner as i ttried to load some data and the web 2.0 icons at the top of the screen. Of course, that’s were the experience ended. I logged out and then tried to get back but only was able to get to the MobileMe coming soon splash screen that’s been up for the past month. Looks like there are still couple bugs in the release.
