Rating: - Fairly essential for multiple Mac family
Probably the only way to keep a multi-user family Mac situation in control. Allows you to ensure that preferences, email accounts, bookmarks, calendars and contacts are fully synchronized. Worthwhile, particularly if you purchase at lower Amazon price.

Rating: - Mobile Me saves the Day
MobileMe Family Pack I had just purchased and signed up for Mobile Me a few days before my hard drive on my MacBook crashed. I had good backups of everything but my address book and contacts. Fortunately, those were all stored on my MobileMe account "in the cloud". After getting the new hard drive (thank you Apple Care) and reloaded my OSX operating system) & programs, I synced my computer with MobileMe *just like magic* all of my calendar appointments & contact information were just there. How cool is that?

If you have an iPhone and don't have MobileMe you are just simply missing out on one of the best parts of the service. In addition to the sync capabilities, you have access to iDisk which will give you a place to store photos and files that are accessible from any web browser. You will also have access to your calendar, contacts & email from any browser.

This is a hard-to-beat service and I would highly recommend the Family pack if you have more than one iPhone in the family.

Rating: - Me like MobileMe
I am a Mac user as I have stop using Windows and Linux. I find the MobileMe experience very good. Sure the launch at first was bad, but I never had any problems. I have my desktop calendar and contacts syncing to my MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and iPhone (3G). They are all syncing without any problems for myself and my spouse who is a Mac user as well (iMac - MacBook - iPhone (3G)). The family pack is just a cost efficient way to have 5 accounts. You can also renew your existing family account and still save money over what Apple would charge you for a renewal.

I also like the way I can post pictures, movies, and webpages. I tend use the MobileMe over something like Flickr or Picasa or Kodiak as I don't have to worry about my pictures being open for public use. Those other sites cannot guarantee that my pictures are deleted when I remove them from those sites.

The last time is that this service does give you access to Apple's support. I never had any problems with this support system and every time I had to ask a question, the support staff was able to answer my question and give a good explanation to help you understand the process.

This is a very good buy and I would recommend this product especially to anyone having the iPhone and want their contacts synced with their desktop and phone using MobileMe's cloud.

Rating: - Mobil Me Families
Mobile me Rocks. Although most of what I wanted to do I could have done with a single unit, I used the family pack to give one to my brother and one to my sister to use in their families. The sharing of the calendar and contacts is great within the family. And since we all use different computers some apple some dell it makes them all share this stuff together. Its just what we needed.

Rating: - Mobile Me: The best web-based set of apps out there
I've been a .mac owner for years, and the transition to Mobile Me went very smooth. Mobile Me is a HUGE upgrade from the days of .mac. The website interface is very slick, and has a lot of very cool features. If you own a Mac - buy this. If you own an iPhone - buy this. I know there were some people who signed up back in July during the transition, that didn't have as much luck. This was a very small group of users, and Apple gave them months upon months of free Mobile Me usage. Mobile Me is great, pick it up today.
