I guess I will have to re-evaluate my needs when it comes to MobileMe. I like the me.com email address and the iDisk functionality as far as backups, but there are so many options out there now it doesn't seem financially wise to spend $99.00 USD ($149.00 USD for family plan) for the service. Or even spend the discounted amount when purchased through Amazon.com. How about you, are you considering dropping MobileMe?</span><span> </span></p>
