Steve Jobs Pledges "MobileMe Will Get Better"

There's another email "apparently" from Steve Jobs floating around.

This time, he's answering a question about MobileMe from a user who described it as "almost unusable".

MobileMe is the Apple subscription service that lets you sync contacts, calendar and stuff across your desktop, laptop, iPhone or iPad. It also gives you storage space and push email.

It costs a staggering £59/$99 a year.  Staggering because Google offers much the same service for nothing.

Here's the "apparent" email exchange:

Q: I love my iPad and iPhone4 and am a huge fan of yours and all that Apple does. I desperately want to stay inside of Apple'e ecosystem as much as possible. 

However, MobileMe is making it very difficult for me to do so. Unreliable/unpredictable syncing, creating duplicate entries (sometimes scores of them), etc. It's almost unusable.

And I know from forums (including Apple's own support boards) that I am not the only one experiencing these very real and frustrating problems.

Please tell me it will get better, and soon?

A: Yes, it will get a lot better in 2011.
