Apple Focusing on MobileMe Improvements in Latest 10.5.6 Builds
Apple is still hard at work on the next version of Mac OS X 10.5.6 according to published reports on the hmbt.org.
The latest Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G35) build appears to focus heavily on testing of MobileMe syncing features for notebook computers in various scenarios. MobileMe is the online mail, calendar, contact and sync services available to Mac or PC users. MobileMe's initial rollout in July was marred by poor performance, downtime and some data loss.
Mac OS X 10.5.6 also incorporates the usual laundry list of big fixes and other tweaks to the 10.5 operating system. Apple release the last update to Mac OS X in September. There is no timeframe for 10.5.6's release, but it will be a free update to all Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) customers.

Too little, too late. I let my subscription expire 11/5. I regret ever signing up 3 years ago, and believing improvements and great new features would ever appear. It was a waste of $300.
Bye-bye!

idisk usually takes a long time to mount and slow to copy for me.
:(
I hope that's one of the improvements they are working on.

Despite the rollout problems, I have been very happy with MobileMe. I am interested to see what comes of the 10.5.6 update.

When I first signed up it was really buggy. But after some time I do some major improvements done. I am a fan of it now. Hope for better improvements, especially on MobileMe websites.

Me too. I started using the sync (to my iPhone ) a couple of weeks after the buggy rollout period. Since then I have to say that syncing has been A+ for me.
For $99, it's worth the sync alone since it is transparent to me.

How do you know it'll be free? Did they say that? 'Cause that would be so cool. :cool:

I was happier on the .Mac era.
I really love iSync and iDisk, but they are so unreliable these days, and major CPU hogs.
At least everything is running great on the iPhone side -- which is no surprise to me, since it's Apple's the main focus these days...:p

all 10.x.x updates have been free. the 10.x upgrades have always been the paid for ones. there is no way that this would change since its a bug and slight enhancement update more than anything.

The OS X update should be, not the Mobile Me services.
