Apple admits something’s wrong… Well it couldn’t exactly deny it

Has anyone else been following this MobileMe fiasco?  If you haven’t then click here.  You back with me?  Good.

I’m not sure what’s impressed me more, that an Apple application doesn’t simply work or that the company has kept users updated.  Apple has demanded that one of its staff blog on the subject.  The opening post, from David G, states:

“Steve Jobs has asked me to write a posting every other day or so to let everyone know what’s happening with MobileMe, and I’m working directly with the MobileMe group to ensure that we keep you really up to date.”

The blog also states:

“In the 14 days since we launched, it’s been a rocky road and we know the pain some people have been suffering. Be assured people here are working 24-7 to improve matters, and we’re going to favor getting you new info hot off the presses even if we have to post corrections or further updates later.”

So, what’s coming?  To date, more than 70 bugs have been fixed and restoring service, albeit without full email, is the “first priority.”  We’ll see.
