what I would just say here is that I've found nothing for a Mac / iPhone / iPad user that comes close to the level of integration that the Mobile Me service offers, sure there's similar, but nothing is quite as all encompassing and delivers such ease with regards to the Apple side of things, it even worked very well for a time when I still had a Windows machine running OutLook. seems like an age away.

Put it this way, I find the main facebook website more accessible! But when you have it working with Apple Mail, iCal, Address Book etc across a number of Macs sharing the account and also my iPhone etc, it works very well. I love push email and syncing etc and don't think there is much out there that can beat it. But the mobileme website is awful but it is better on the Mac then Windows for accessibility. If I was you, I would maybe consider google for now.
