MobileMe Update Adds iDisk Public Folder Features, Makes 'Find My iPhone' More Prominent
- New Public folder page located at http://public.me.com/{membername} now matches the look of me.com and supports drag and drop of files between folders (when enabled for visitors)
- Allowing visitors to upload, move, and delete files on your Public folder can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
- An iDisk Public folder password can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
- When logging in to a password-protected Public folder with a web browser, entering the generic username "public" is no longer required
- Adds ability to connect to another member's Public folder while viewing your own iDisk at me.com

I have already subscribed to a 25GB Dropbox Pro account and intend not to renew my MobileMe service, whose only unique feature is now 'find my iPhone'.
that would be really cool
you could read email online, from any computer using the internet, then you could write an email to someone
It is unbelievable how much Apple has allowed itself to lag behind Dropbox (and other contenders). No matter how Apple touches up this lacklustre product, the core technology remains flawed. (Ever heard about 'delta syncing', Cupertino?)

You need to understand that MobileMe's iDisk feature is built on an entirely different technology than Dropbox. I use both services.
iDisk uses WebDAV. Mind you, they could take several pages from Dropbox's book on syncing the offline copy of iDisk with the cloud.
I agree, Dropbox is a far better implementation, but you can't directly compare it to iDisk.
what if they made mobileme work for writing and reading email
that would be really cool

Umm...this is exactly what Mobile Me does, and every other online Email service. Am I missing something??
MobileMe no longer loads correctly in Google Chrome...my main browser at work. I will be cancelling my account and switching to a Gmail/dropbox solution.
Mobile Me isn't getting better, just bigger with more features I don't need. It's not worth the money anymore, IMO.
Anyway it's good to hear about those updates.
