if it helps anyone, when I complained to Apple about this, I told them I was planning on buying a MM subscription but could not due to the inaccessibility of their web-site, and they gave me a free subscription to it for a year whilst they worked on the problem.
if it is not fixed when it runs out, I fully intend on asking for another. just a note though about this, you will have to get someone to enter the promo code they give you, assuming they do, and sign you up to the service, as, of course, its inaccessible. :) so although I got a free memberhsip for a year, I still had to get a sightling to do the sign up process for me/ Regards, Neil Barnfather Talks List Administrator Twitter @neilbarnfather TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, for all your accessible phone, PDA and GPS related enquiries visit www.talknav.com URL: - www.talknav.com e-mail: - serv...@talknav.com Phone: - +44 844 999 4199 On 18 Mar 2011, at 17:56, ShamelessFanGirl wrote: I too am curious as to your findings here, because I intended to subscribe with MobileMe within the next few weeks, and/or upon the supposed big announcement in April. Is this service more accessible on the Mac side than windows for example? Or is access a dead thing across the board? This is truly disheartening, so definitely keep us posted as to your discoveries.
