Renew MobileMe? (Updated)
30 Apr 2011
RG from Chestnut Hill asks:
My MobileMe account is about to expire. Do I need to renew it?
No, you don’t.
The rumor mill is suggesting that big changes are coming to MobileMe, including the possibility that it may once again be free of charge. So I would hold off, unless it is critical to you.
June 9 UPDATE
At the World Wide Developer Conference on Monday, Steve Jobs announced that MobileMe is going away, to be replaced by a (mostly) free service called iCloud, coming this Fall. Apple has extended all active MobileMe accounts until June 30, 2012, for free, and no longer offers MobileMe for sale.
There are many questions to be answered, and details to be revealed about the new service, and the transition to it.
