Dear Apple:

Aug 5, 2008

Using another blog, I previously expressed my exasperation with MobileMe. You know, that service I pay for? So, I would like to re-iterate something – STOP DOING SO MUCH AT ONCE.

Well, since then, MobileMe has actually worked for me. Everything was syncing up just fine, and rather quickly too. Cool!

Then today, an email was released into the wild from Steve Jobs to his employees. From Steve’s mouth, "The launch of MobileMe was not our finest hour. " No kidding.

Also today, I was given the 2.01 version of my iPhone software. Hooray!  I can now search my contacts on my phone with speed instead of being mired in molasses. The whole thing appears to have picked up speed, which is good.

However, my MobileMe stopped working. Your site tells me we’re at 100% and all is well. Apple, please know, all is not well. My mail hasn’t been sync’d in 3 days, my contacts in each location (phone, machine, web) are all different, and not to be greedy, but that additional 30 days you were going to add to my account? Never added.

My confidence is not inspired.

So Apple, please stop releasing so many things at one time. I’ve been a .Mac user since before you started charging for it and I hung in there when you started charging too much for it. Please don’t make me regret my decision.

Warmest regards,

Michelle

Cheers!
