Apple Sorry for MobileMe Bugs

Apple has issued a mea culpa for all the problems its users faced when the company transitioned its .Mac services to the new MobileMe Microsoft Exchange-like service last week. Issues ranged from login difficulties to device synching resulting in duplicate address entries, MocoNews reports.

The good (better?) news for MobileMe users is that they get a free 30 days added to their subscription in “appreciation for their patience during the transition period.” The thank-you-for-sticking-with-us deal is open to anyone who was a .Mac member on July 9 and created a MobileMe account by July 15.
