Fri, 11 Jul 2008 Apple statement on MobileMe transition delay
Apple concedes the MobileMe transition is taking extra time.
Apple's rocky transition of its .Mac service to the new MobileMe service continues to cause problems, as frustration continues at iPhone 3G queues across the UK.
The service was expected to be fully operational by now, but things have clearly not been going according to plan. And Apple has now confessed to problems.

Apple this morning updated its website with a note to the following effect: "The MobileMe transition is underway but is taking longer than expected. Please refer to the official System Status to the right for current information on the availability of MobileMe services. We apologize for any inconvenience."
MobileMe web apps remain unavailable at time of writing.
The new iPhone-friendly service offers push email, calendars, and contacts and works with the iPhone's mail, calendar, and contacts applications in addition to working with Mail, iCal, and Address book on the Mac and Outlook on the PC.
MobileMe costs £59 per year.
