The Cloud does not disengage at the drop of a hat anymore and I am now doing large file copies to my iDisk. This is still slow (26MB in 2h vs 10h earlier on with the disengagements), but at least it is consistent. Sync also took less time to finish. I think we are getting there.

Just had to log out of the service and log back in again in order to get any iDisk functionality. And Oops, iDisk just disconnected itself again. iWeb also has trouble updating my site. I'm clearly not out of the woods yet. MobileMe is still Wonky Donkey over here (The Netherlands). iDisk is absolutely dead slow, if available at all.

My mac frequently disengages from my cloud and iWeb frequently reports an error when updating my website. Whereas my Cloud capacity was doubled from the get-go, I have heard from friends who are still waiting for that part of the upgrade. Still some loose ends here.

It really sucks that Apple say that it all pushes from everywhere, but in reality my Mac isn't pushing anything. It's just syncing stuff at a faster rate than it previously did (once every 15 minutes).

What annoys me is that even though I have synchronisation set to 'Automatic' in my System Preferences, my computer only syncs once every ten minutes or so. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm more interested in the back story. What technical steps did Apple do on preparing iTunes and me.com leading up to the iPhone 3G launchWhat is the backend architecture /infrastructure that me.com is running on? One thing I find intriguing about the Snow Leopard story is nobody delves deeply into WHY Apple is pushing hardcore on OS development. Just a case of nerdy engineering pride or trying to outdo Windows/Linux? Or is it Apple aiming to run the entire Apple Cloud, plus expanding into the Cloud business, with Snow Leopard? Apple is already hoarding a portfolio with every aspect of computing (a lesson learned from MS?). It's hard to imagine Jobs will be content to depend his business on some generic Linux farm. Daniel?
