I think MobileMe is a little overpriced, especially considering that it requires a more expensive data plan as well. My dad's wife got an iPhone and got suckered into the MobileMe plan and is paying a big premium as a result, while I have most of my info running through Google or third party apps with much of the same functionality at a much lower price.

@weatherman:

mobille me does not require a more expensive data plan. it costs $99 per year, flat, no matter what you do with it. i have it and i use it with my iphone and have not received any additional charges.

@lostarchitect: I thought you had to get the push-capable data plan for an extra $10/mo. No?

@weatherman:

No. Enterprise data plans are for enterprise customers only. You'll know if you need it (usually it's your company that gets it for you on a company phone).

And you CAN use Microsoft Exchange on a consumer plan as well. It doesn't require the $45/month data plan.

@dagamer34: well I guess I spoke too soon then - I thought you could only get exchange plans or MobileMe with the $45/mo data plan, which effectively made MobileMe $250/yr. I guess if it works with the standard data plan it's a little more palatable, though I still think $100 is pretty expensive for something that Google provides for free. I could see spending $50/yr on it though.
