Apple blows it on getting MobileMe up and running on Launch Day!
Wow! I think this is the first post that I’ve ever done where I’m nailing Apple like their Microsoft.
mobileMe was supposed to be up and running now but it has had problems all day and its now officially down again. I guess Apple was not ready for the amount of traffic or maybe they realized all that AJAX may have more load on the servers than they thought
I would not doubt they thought they could just keep the old servers of mac.com and make it run the same.
Heck it may not even be there fault. Maybe Microsoft is doing a DOS attack on them…..
Hopefully MobileMe will be ready to go because I can’t wait to finally sync everything from all my Macs to my PC and iPhone with one single solution instead of the 3 step hack that I did using Google Apps.
See you Microsoft fan boys, I am not afraid to nail Apple for something they can’t do right. Enjoy it because this is a rare thing to see this from Apple.
[UPDATE 1:12 AM Friday July 11] - I was able to login and connect for about 5 minutes. It then got really, really slow, then 5 minutes later it was back down and I was redirected back to the http://www.apple.com/mobileme/ site.
[UPDATE 1:15 AM Saturday July 12] - We’ll it looks like the worst is behind us. This would have to be the worst week in Apple’s 8 year rule of dong it “Just Right”. What could go wrong what went wrong.
