Yeah but thats like comparing apples to oranges. MobileMe can arguably be said to have been created for Apple and iPhone customers. Google's Android platform was built around Google's online services, so it makes sense there to have a closed eco system as well. Microsoft creates Office for everyone and if they are taking the time to make sure it is compatible with all desktop browser it just makes sense to utilize that time to make it compatible with all mobile browsers as well.
