MobileMe 30 day credit !
While a lot of people seem to complain about the .Mac / MobileMe service I've always had pretty good success. The biggest thing I use it for is iDisk so that all my laptop files get automagically backed up to the server, I can then access those same files from the web and have the get mirrored to one of my other Macs. It does the same for the my bookmarks and mail settings (and it'll do the same for contacts and calendar, but I haven't been using my mac for that). They are removing the web access to the bookmarks, I only occasionally used this, but I don't understand why they took this away (it was an already written feature so why remove it); I'm especially annoyed since I renewed for a year and then they took the feature away.
For the same cost they just increased storage from 10 GB to 20GB so that's a bonus. They're still more expensive than most storage on-line but the connivence is what makes it worth it. It's also slow if you just decide to sync up gigs and gigs of data, but it'll get there eventually and it resumes seamlessly (usually) the next time I connect.
I did have some MobileMe problems during the transition and the iPhone 2.0 launch (I don't have an iPhone) but they all resolved themselves. As a result for those problems and the ones others had they are offering a free MobileMe MobileMe30-day credit extension to your account (you were a .Mac member whose account was active as of July 9, 2008 or you are a new MobileMe member who created your account on or before July 15, 2008 at 7:00 PM PDT).
