I bought it for the locator/remote wiping functionality

I really prefer Dropbox. Fantastic service, far better features and a Whole Lot more flexibility!

Dropbox, box.net or Google Docs (when Documents to Go for iPad ships) are pretty good alternatives if you don't need a lot of space.

I use mobile me with my work. I love it I use the calendar and. Publish my iWeb. I use the mail and really all aspects of it. The iDisk can sometimes be a pain in the butt. But I like it.

I love Dropbox.
I have not used box.net.

Is that more of a backup service?

There are several free cloud desktops available - such as GlideOS. (IPhone and IPad use the mobile page that doesn't require Flash). Keep docs, presentations, spreadsheets, photos, etc, on the server for access from any computer (yes works cross platform). Calendar also - just like an in-box OS. MobileMe sounds like a major waste of money.

I tried it, but it didn't offer much more than our Exchange server does. We are switching our company to Google Apps so it's even less likely I'll try it again.

I keep reading people are not choosing MM because they can get the same services with dropbox or google docs. MM offers so much more, on top of the device syncing, 20 gb storage, 200 gb transfer allowance, photo sharing, remote wipe, backup and you can host your website there. I use google docs and dropbox but for me MM really is the complete package.

I have been using MM for the last year to keep my laptop and iPhone in calendar and contacts sync but since I added my iPad I am getting a huge number of duplicates on my iPhone. I haven't had the time to figure out why so I turned off syncing for the time being and cleared my iPhone.
