Or, for me it is very important to have my own domain name. You can't do that with mobile me on a solid basis. With interways, it is no problem. They can host whatever domain you wish or have for you (even just email, you can keep your web site where it is).
Or for those who want a more professional approach for multiple calendars sharing, collaboration, etc. I'm just saying that the world does not end with mobile me, there are other good things out there.
@Impaler: Agreed?

I do wish MobileMe provided the ability to host more than photos on my own domain name. However, I think they should stay out of that business--too messy and other companies do it well.

@omniscient: Agreed. The world doesn't end with MobileMe, Interways, Google, Microsoft, etc. There are many options out there. However, none provide the singular and complete solution for us Mac freaks out there as MM does. At least not at this point. Good discussion! Okay, let's get back to our jobs.
