i haven't had the same issues with idisk you seem to have had, although the dashboard items won't sync for me which is annoying.

i'd agree that it seems like they have a bit further to go before it's perfected, and in the meantime they seem to be throwing out free months to everyone to make up for it.

cheers for the review i enjoyed reading it!

I always find my self considering picking it up, but realize I can do most of that stuff on my own without having to pay that yearly fee. :( I tend to agree.

I have to say every year when I renew my membership I really feel I am getting a poor value. And the new Mobile Me features didn't convince me otherwise.
