Do you recommend mobileme? - Page 4

I thought I read that there is a place to send them suggestions. Who knows if they will listen. However, if I was Apple, I would be reading these forums as we are the ones in the trenches using the phones on a daily basis in all sorts of different ways.

Here is what I have been doing to create a sort of daily ToDo list.

I create calendar items that are marked as "all day." These then appear at the top of my calendar on me.com and then the regular appointments show in their time slot. Since they are color coded, I can identify which calendar they are from.

Now if I could make the "all day calendar" items sort by calendar (ie all red together, then all blue, then all green etc) at the top of my calendar, I can have a psuedo to do list.

Try Jott, It works great, puts text from talk right in MS outlook calender.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have used Jott, and it works ok (have had some voice scramblings and the daily email not updating well...could be user error too), I just would like to see Mobile Me cleaned and polished as it is working partially for me now and with some corrections and fine tuning, it would be just what I need.

I moved over from the Palm / Treo OS system about a month ago after using it about 10 years. I have been reading all the input and am about to try the trial period with Mobile Me. I have 3 PCs at the office and 1 at home all running XP. Has Apple worked enough of the bugs out where a PC user will not spend an inordinate amount of time getting the system function?

Any tips or suggestions since I will probably try to get it set up this weekend?

I use MM with Vista on my laptop, XP on my office PC and on my mac mini. No issues other than I found the me.com works much faster if you download and use Safari for windows. You get a warning with I E7 and it runs slow.

Thanks to all I''l give it a shot this afternoon.

Yes discounted .mac memberships work just fine. You register your mobileme account online, it does not care what operating system you are using. I recently renewed my mobile me with a $39 .mac registration code I purchased on Amazon. Those codes are good until they are gone, Apple won't cancel them. You can also find .mac at a discount at your local circuit city for $45
