RSSMobileMe is sort of useless
Sep 14
I thought I might give MobileMe a try. For those that don’t know, MobileMe is a subscription service from Apple that allows you to push your calendar and contact information to a web-portal (at http://me.com), and from there you can sync multiple Windows and Mac OS X devices (and iPhones!), making sure you have consistent information across all of them. Sounds great.
The devices I want to keep in sync are:
- My work laptop – a Windows machine running Outlook and connected to our corporate Exchange server
- My personal laptop – a MacBook Pro
- My phone – an iPhone 3GS
So… I go to the web site and sign up for the 60-day trial. All good. I install the special “MobileMe Control Panel” on my Windows system. I open up the configuration. I then discover that it won’t sync my Outlook contacts or calendar information if you use Exchange.
USELESS! Failed experiment, trial cancelled. Apple, seriously, fix this up. I can’t believe you expect people to pay $119 a year for this.
