Apple Updates .Mac [Updated]
As rumored, Apple has updated its .Mac services suite.
In addition to Web Gallery, which was introduced as an integrated part of iLife '08, Apple is bumping up the standard storage size from 1 GB to 10 GB. The price remains $99 for a one year personal subscription. Family packs are available.
Update: More details are becoming available about the features of the .Mac update now that the event is over.
According to Apple's .Mac website, Apple will be rolling out the storage increases to current .Mac members over the next week. The transfer limit has also been increased to 100 GB of monthly transfer for regular .Mac accounts, and 200 GB for family packs.
Apple also announced the ability to use a personal domain address with .Mac. While Apple says they currently do not sell domain names, they provide steps to get your domain purchased at a domain registrar working correctly with .Mac.

Unless we see some improved functionality, this is a pretty lame update. Certainly not worthy of mentioning months ago when asked about a .Mac revamp.

Not impressed so far. I'm canceling and not turning back as soon as someone comes up with a good way to sync my contacts between my Mac Mini and my iBook.

WOW, I think this is really sweet, I love the 10 GB upgrade. I have been using the 1 GB storage for a while and I was almost full with it. I will renew my subscription soon again!!!

Any guess as to whether or not that is extended to current subscribers? I just renewed 1.5 months ago???

I am really disappointed with the new dotMac. When Steve talked about it at D5 I really thought he knows that they should bring it to a new level. Maybe with integration of some Google services like documents etc.
I will not subscribe if thats all.

At least it's 10GB. That's way more than I would have thought they would do. Hopefully they continue to add stuff in the near future.
