Mobile Me? Seriously?

Written on June 9, 2008 at 11:09 pm, by asurroca

Mobile Me? Windows Me? Familiar? So, at this year’s WWDC, the Apple folks announced that .Mac is being replaced with a new service called Mobile Me. They’re still charging $99 a year for 20 GB storage, push e-mail, and and over-the-air syncing between iPhone and Mac or (gasp) Windows PCs…you know, mostly the stuff that Windows Mobile and BlackBerry phones do for free.

Anyway, some people seem to love calling Windows Vista the next Windows Me (read: an in-between-versions OS that was mostly forgotten), and Apple likes accusing Windows Vista of copying OS X. So, why on Earth did Apple choose a logo that sickeningly resembles the Windows Me logo?

Oh, also, I found it pretty interesting to see an OS X computer and a Vista computer happily side by side in Apple’s photos for the Mobile Me service.
