@preshit
Ofcourse if you are using email client one needs to use mail in Mac and Outlook on PC. I thought I didn't mention about email clients in my posts.

I thought you had something to say about push email, when I said that MobileMe push email was for iPhone/iPod Touch.

@Aryayush
So I guess I am not wrong except that I didn't mention about the email clients

update: That MobileMe in system prefs thing that I mentioned above, now works very well.
Other issues are , interface is slow compared to gmail, fetching of new mails is also slow compared to gmail. Still unable to transfer a file from hard disk to finder's iDisk.

Can you seriously give an ultimate review of the speed of a service after how much of trouble they have had over the last three days? Obviously they are still trying to cope up.

As for the push thing, it has everything to do with email clients. A web interface does not support push, end of story. So it depends on how many times the web interface polls the server. Devices like an email client or an iPhone however do support push and that is where the difference is. The best way to look at this is like SMS.

Anyway, if you guys were awake at 4-7 am, you would have seen how fast Mobileme was. Really zippy! Files the transferring to and fro like a breeze. Pics were uploading faster than I could choose them. Really spiffy. Then again it went down to its sluggish self.

^^That must've been coz half the world gave up hope and stopped pinging their servers.

@Milind
Are you telling me that I should delete the dock's files! Is that actually possible? I am afraid I will destroy the system.
Also, I read the desktop thread, where did you get those indicators on your dock? I am desperately looking for them.

@din:

(MobileMe mail is not working, so I'm typing this here itself)
Well there is Edson, Kimmie, Ankur Gupta, and I think Manan is interested.

In our case Preshit paid $50 for the main account and the rest of us $20 each. I don't know how 'the second group' is gonna play it so it might be $30 each I guess.

If you want in I can add you to 'the group' and go on from there.

Btw, send me your vCard so I can addressbook it in. If you don't mind that is.

Ok guys
ipod touch software update 2 is finished. the download took only 10 minutes but restore took more than one hour. Now the home screen is full. Also installed app "remote". Need to play more and more with touch.
Downgraded to safari 311 just for mobile me experience.

 

[goobimama]

^^ Lucky dog. We have to wait for the stupid (but great) dev-team to do their thing.

----------
Okay is it just me or is there absolutely no pushing going on between my services? Calendars are totally out of sync, Address book is also out of sync. Not sure about the Mail, but that I guess works a little differently. I've set the sync interval in System Preferences to Automatic.

@jimmy: I've uploaded the indicators on my iDisk Public folder. Called Float.zip

You need to rename each of the sized indicators exactly as they are in the Dock's resources folder (before deleting them from the dock).

Oh, the Big Question. ( I hate to browser through the previous pages. We should have a Wiki, seriously)

Matte Screen or Glossy?

I've been reading reviews/blogs and the standard vote is that the Glossy screen produces more vibrant colors (blacks are more black, whites are white and text is very sharp)

 

[jamesbond007]

I am into watching movies, and since night scenes look great on Glossy, I will always look for Glossy

 

[SunnyChahal]

I'm in my new house now.But the same problem persists.When I take my sleepers off,I get shocks,when I wear them,the shocks just disappear!!
There is no earthing problem in here.I think there is something to do with my Mac.

 

[iMav]

Is it on a UPS?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Yup

 

[narangz]

Then try connecting it directly to mains.

Glossy is excellent for viewing movies and stuff. The only problem is the reflections that it produces which can get irritating sometimes. So if you want better movie experience, then go for the glossy one without second thoughts.
But if you are going to spend a great deal of time in editing documents and stuff, then matte would be a better choice.
