The trials of a long-term mac user

Push wording removed from Mobile me site, and 30 day extended membership

Posted by utzy

So here we are live from the Regent street Applestore and following the less the shiny launch of the new in the cloud Mobileme contacts, calendar and email service Apple has to day removed all reference to the word push on their website.

And the reason, well on top the big mess that users have had over the last seven days different contacts on the computer the webserver and iphone their definition of push was really stretching it to the limit. It's now been replaced by this wording:

When you make a change on one device, MobileMe sends the new information up to the cloud, then updates all of your other devices. Your iPhone or iPod touch is updated in real time. And on your Mac or PC, it happens automatically every 15 minutes.

Hmmn I've asked for a official quote from an Apple rep here in the store- none's forthcoming yet but it seems the Exchange for the rest of us moniker gone too , I wonder when the lawyers called in the shots.

In the last hour Apple has added an apology for the rocky roll out and offered 30 days extra membership extension. Better late than never but this could have come so much sooner...

Oh by the way for all of you non 02 users the iphone dev team just jailbroke an iphone

Yippee I’m free
