Anyone who used iOS 5 and made an @me account can now use the site! yay!

It's still really buggy, but cool so far! Now to figure out how to get my email to sync on iOS 4... hehe

I need to transition my mac.com address to my new .me account. I had paid the 99 bucks back when .mac was around, but never renewed and missed out on the initial transition back when iOS 2.0 arrived (which was a terrible, terrible launch). Now it's tied to everything Apple related and I'd love to get rid of it and transition everything to my new me account. Any ideas on how to do that?

Can some tell me what is icloud I know it's like virtual storage but what exactly can you store or sync ?

iCloud for desktops is a set of web apps that work with their corresponding iPhone apps... Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Find My iPhone and iWork are the apps so far. It's pretty much Apple's version of Google's Gmail, Calendar, Google Docs, etc. set of apps, haha.

Except for the fact that Google's stuff is all free, and you'll still have to pay for iWork.

What I am hoping for is Apple making it so if you've purchased either iWork for iOS or OS X, then you will have access to the iWork web Suite, similar to Google Docs. That would be nice.

There's also that XD though granted, iWork does a lot more than Docs... I wonder if Apple might make a free version to compete down the line. I wouldn't be surprised, tbh.

I dunno. I removed iWorks from my Mac when I got MS Office. It's still heads and tails above iWorks in my book. I have Docs 2 Go on my iPhone, so it was going to be a waste of money to purchase it for my iPhone.

I've always liked GDocs, cause you can do the creating online without needing Office on your computer. Of course, now you can download or upload so Google still gives you the best of all possible worlds.

I would love to try but I'm stuck with a MobileMe membership and the thought of having to create a test account instead of moving my account is not appealing. I can't wait until Apple finally enables "moving" accounts.
