If you are not familiar with MobileMe, I talked about it in more detail here-
In general, however, MobileMe is synchronized computing in the “Cloud”, where you can keep all your mail, calendar, contacts, documents, etc. in your MobileMe Account and all your devices stay synchronized from that central global location, whether it be your Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
I guess a number of people have experienced problems with MobileMe since Apple released it a few weeks ago. I use MobileMe and can't say as I have experienced any major problems other than it not being as available as I would like when MobileMe was first launched. Since then, however, Apple has added more servers and made additional changes to the service to improve scalability and I have not had a service outage for quite some time. I use MobileMe for calendar and email sychronization between my Mac Book Pro and iPhone. I use the Web Gallery for sharing photos and I use iDisk to backup project work and files regularly. Again, other than some Calendar glitches at the beginning, everything has been a-okay recently ( knock on wood ). That being said, however, all applications have bugs, and services in the cloud are a scary thing to not have available when you depend on them.
Apple has started a blog that you can follow that is supposed to have regular updates on the status of MobileMe. Sounds like the developers are working on it around the clock and we should see more and more improvements, bug fixes, and performance enhancements weekly.
You can find the Apple MobileMe Status blog here.
