<\/a>Around 1:00 PM Pacific time on Sunday, Apple’s MobileMe suite of cloud applications<\/a> went offline. Apple hasn’t responded yet to a request for details, but the volume of Twitter updates<\/a> in different languages suggests this isn’t a small outage.\u00a0MobileMe, for which Apple charges $99 per year, grew from the company’s .Mac (pronounced “dot-mac”) services. Usually it works — I use it daily — but MobileMe got off to a bad start last year with frequent outages. So much so that even Apple fan Walt Mossberg declared it “too flawed to be reliable<\/a>.” MobileMe beats Google Apps in some ways, most notably its browser-based replications of the mail, calendar and contact apps built into Apple computers. But for a hundred bucks a year in 2010, shouldn’t it be bulletproof?<\/p>\n
