How many people are using MobileMe?

I just signed up for the free trial and have to say that although it does seem a little expensive, the features and sync options on it are great.

Thinking of getting a code from ebay to sign up once the trial runs out.

I like the fact that when I add a contact or calendar, it's sent to the cloud within seconds and I dont have to worry about losing important details.

Does anyone use another option for this type of service? I read that some people sync through google but I found it quite difficult and tedious to set up.

Me, but only because i found a retail boxed version in pc world for £18

Google Sync via exchange is simple to set up, infact its the same as a mobile me account.

Cheers I'll give it a try. I have got the contacts synced OK but it's more the calendars that don't seem to be updating properly.

Did find a few on ebay for around £40 but they're from the states so I'm not sure if there'd be a problem setting it up.

Me, mainly because I like the email address. The other features are cool too.

Makes no difference, even the old Mac.com codes still work.

Had it for a year and never used it, thankfully I bought it when M&S were selling off stock cheaply.

You can buy it cheaper on eBay. I use it now ironically for nothing I originally tried in the free trial (all iPhone related stuff). I use it for hosting and cloud now. Access contacts on other computers is good too but Google does that too for free. MobileMe and iWeb work very nicely together.
