A "leaked" email from Steve Jobs to the MobileMe team shows that Apple's boss has finally and officially understood what everybody else already knew: Apple is incapable for now of running a MobileMe service, as it is incapable to provide critical security patches in a timely manner (see DNS flaw). In the email, Steve Jobs says that MobileMe clearly needed more time and testing (doh!), it should have been launched gradually (syncing first, a month later Mail and another month after that Calendar), and it was a mistake to launch MobileMe at the same time as iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0...
