[NTLK] OT: MobileMe

[Valerio Paris Mitritsakis]

I love the OTA bookmarks, contacts and calendar sync on the iPhone. For email I use google apps which gives me a lot more space 
for a lot more users. Gallery is handy too, however I have not used it much. Also I've only used iDisk for text files, and ebooks so I did
not get to see the slowness.
