MobileMe has stunk on ice, so to regain users’ trust Apple will give them two free months of service. Anyone with an account active as of August 19 at 00:00 PDT (note Apple’s correct use of timestamp, PDT) is eligible for the two free months.
Apple is giving away the free months “to express appreciation for [its] members’ patience as [it] continue to improve the service.”
It’s a shame MobileMe has been so buggy, since push for the everyman (because every man needs push) should well be a hit.
