Comments on: Apple Changes Name Of MobileMe to MobileMess http://www.rimarkable.com/apple-changes-name-of-mobileme-to-mobilemess The Official, Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:33:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Thought http://www.rimarkable.com/apple-changes-name-of-mobileme-to-mobilemess#comment-116042 Thought Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:37:18 +0000 http://www.rimarkable.com/apple-changes-name-of-mobileme-to-mobilemess#comment-116042 The reason why RIM has an advantage in this area is the same reason why Apple has an advantage in multimedia, usability, etc...it's simply experience. RIM has been doing this for years, and has it perfected. Apple is just now getting into this type of service. It's unrealistic to think Apple can just snap their fingers and produce a BES type service that will work as well as RIM's, just like it's unrealistic to think RIM can quickly catch Apple in doing what Apple does well. One has to choose which strengths one favors and buy accordingly.

Don't get me wrong: I love my Curve (BB user since 2002) and our corporate BES is rock solid, but RIM's infrastructure is not. I've been a .Mac user since 2000 and the MobileMe upgrade is the only issue I've had with the service. Unsubscribed. This should have been posted under Trolling instead of Opinion.

Additionally, I tend come down hard on RIM whenever they have an outage and there are more then just a few folks here who don't think that it is a big deal. Granted, BlackBerry outages don't usually last for 3 weeks... To be fair to Apple, they are taking a little bit of heat over this.

It is amazing how forgiving some Apple fanatics are... If RIM were having these types of issues they would be getting raked over the coals right now.

Hopefully it'll get smoothed out eventually. I've had .mac for a year, and I gotta say while it's been extremely useful for certain things, it's also given me my fair share of headaches. They really shouldn't push (no pun intended) this stuff on people if it doesn't work properly. If I had purchased MobileMe thinking it to be a BIS or BES substitute I would be less than thrilled with Apple right now. Yeah. Hopefully it’ll get smoothed out eventually.
