Apple News

MobileMe Update Blog Grinds to a Halt?You’ll remember back at the end of July that a new MobileMe status page was setup at Apple. It is authored by one ‘David G‘, and was setup to provide the latest news and updates on the condition of MobileMe… and I say ‘condition’ because we all know how ’sick’ it was upon the launch. To date, the update page has only seen 3 new posts from David G, on July 25th, 27th and 29th respectively.

Some are probably dissapointed about the lack of news and updates. I know I would be if I had signed up for MobileMe… I’d want the latest and greatest news posted for me at that location, each and every day. Frequent updates assure users that problems are being addressed, and that the team at Apple is doing everything they can to fix all issues. Not to mention, if I was privy to all update information, I might be more inclined to subscribe once I knew the service was running at full throttle.

Now, I’m not saying they aren’t already doing this, but it would be a nice gesture to let the public (and paying MobileMe subscribers) know exactly what is going on.

C’mon David G, perhaps it’s time for another update!?

Since the launch of the iPhone 3G Apple has been flooded with angry complaints and emails regarding the ‘Mobile Me’ services, its reliability and speed.

Apple responded over the weekend with a new status blog which is to be updated by David G, an Apple employee under the direct orders of Steve Jobs himself. Yes folks, he may be ill but he is still flaunting is wrath of power over the Apple kingdom. David G will be reporting to us weekly, sharing updates and info on all that is ‘Mobile Me’.

His latest post read:

As you know, restoring full email access to the remaining 1% of MobileMe users is our first priority. We turned on web access to their current email yesterday and the feedback has been cautiously positive. Since then, we’ve restored full email history (minus the approximately 10% of mail received between July 18 and July 22 which may have been lost) and the ability to access email from a Mac, PC and iPhone, to over 40% of these users, and expect the remainder to be restored in the next few days.

A note of clarification to these 1% of MobileMe users — all of the email you received between July 18 and July 22 was placed on our new server on July 23 and was stamped with that date as a result. If you need the actual date for particular messages you can take advantage of the ability to view long headers in MobileMe Mail (via Preferences) to peer into the log and find the actual mailing time and date.

We’ll report again on our progress in another post early this week.

Its good to see Apple’s keeping us in the loop. Thanks David G!!
