Apple seems to be getting used to rolling out small but useful upgrades.

Hot on the virtual heels of the iPhone OS 3.1.2 release, Apple on Friday announced some improvements to the MobileMe service.

If this MobileMe upgrade came without much fanfare, that's likely because the improvements themselves just aren't that fanfarish.

Highlights include new settings for public iDisk files, a revamped Web interface, and more granular privacy controls for what others can and can't do with files stored in the online repository.

The occasionally-indispensible Find My iPhone feature also received some token upgrades--more prominence in the me.com toolbar, and its own shiny new URL.

Saving the best for last, Apple also included one real live bug fix in the MoblieMe upgrades: an issue where exporting multiple contacts at once would fail is reportedly corrected.

So, MobileMe enthusiasts who like upgrades and hate major changes, this one's for you.

Just need to adjust the price now.

A feature never mentioned which adds value to the price is that MobileMe now has an online chat support which I have used a few times - and it seems like there are people there 24/7! No waiting time and very good responses and extremely helpful. A Genius bar for us who still haven´t got Apple Stores in our countries:)
So, you have different free services which can substitute this and that in MobileMe, but where do you find the whole package, so well integrated? And it is also much faster now, here in Europe. And then you have Find My iPhone, too. I think it really is worth the price now. And of course, what with the dollar sinking...:)

..if you buy it from ebay. You can buy the family pack for the same price as Apple sell a single account.
