Mossberg reports for The Wall Street Journal."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1239936569.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>And what did Mr. Mossberg conclude? I'll let him tell you.</p><p>According to Mossberg, <em>"Apple has fixed all of the speed and reliability issues I encountered last year. In my new tests, MobileMe's email was prompt and reliable. I was able to add, delete or edit a contact or calendar entry on one device, and see these changes almost immediately on all the others, and on the MobileMe Web site. The Web-based photo gallery, which can also house videos, worked fine on both Windows and Mac, and I was able to upload photos to it from my iPhone. The file storage also worked well, and now has a feature that allows you to share files too large to email. And each MobileMe account works with an unlimited number of computers, iPhones and Touches."&nbsp;</em></p><p>Sounds like he likes it. You can read his <a href="http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20090415/latest-mobileme-takes-out-glitches-and-eases-syncing/" target="_blank">review</a> over at All Things Digital. Oh one caveat though, it does work better with Macs than it does with Windows.&nbsp;</p><p><em></em></p>
