Digital Home Thoughts: Apple's MobileMe Fails Users in a Big Way

It's not often that I speak with great enthusiasm about an Apple product, but when Apple announced their MobileMe service, I was quite impressed with it. The reality of the service is quite different then the concept - Apple is having some serious problems with it, so serious that it inspired this deliciously amusing mockery site. Worse than not synching properly, or mis-using the word "Push", MobileMe is now losing email. Apple usually brings products to market in an impressive manner, so why are they stumbling so badly with this service?
