.Mac Update Coming at August 7th Media Event?

Apple's .Mac site warns users that the .Mac service will be undergoing maintenance on August 7th between 10 AM an 12 PM PDT.

Due to scheduled maintenance, .Mac members might be intermittently unable to access some .Mac services from 10 AM to 12 PM PDT on 08/07/2007. We apologize for any inconvenience.


Coincidentally, this time corresponds exactly to Apple's Media Event which is scheduled to take place on August 7th at 10AM PDT.

Steve Jobs had hinted that .Mac would see a refresh in the near future during a recent interview.

Walt: .Mac... you guys didn't really develop it.
Steve: I couldn't agree more, and we'll make up for lost time in the near future

i was a .mac user back when it was free and called "itools"

i have since jumped ship due to storage expense. but i am missing some of the features that .mac brings.

it would take an awful lot of included storage for me to get back on board. here's hoping...

For those of use who buy the .mac service: "it is about time Apple!"

My renewal is in September, so hopefully it will be worth it.

It would be nice to see .Mac updated! Let's hope this happens--and lets also hope this doesn't screw up my email for too long tomorrow. :cool:

I know it'll be brought up, but I'd really like it if an update wasn't to add better iPhone support. As a .Mac user I'd be really pissed if it was along those lines.

But really, is this just bad timing or is it really going to be updated. Probably about due for some sort of update I guess.
