It seems Apple is quite concerned with the stress MobileMe's problems have caused users since its release and has decided to extend the free account period by another 60 days. These two months add up to the 30 day extension users received last month.

On Monday, MobileMe subscribers received an e-mail from the company, in which they were informed about Apple’s plans. In the same message, the company said although MobileMe has received many improvements, a lot more work is still required in order to eventually have a "great service".

The MobileMe Team acknowledged the fact that MobileMe's July launch hasn’t been as successful as everyone had hoped and said the subscribers’ patience until everything is taken care of is greatly appreciated.

Immediatly after MobileMe’s launch, the company received numerous complaints from users who could not login ot get their gadgets to sync properly. That very week, the company sent an e-mail to all its subscribers announcing them that the team was well aware of the problems and that everything was being sorted out. Subscribers were also informed about the 30 day free extension.

MobileMe grants users access to several applications such as addressbook, calendar, web-based email, photo gallery and storage capabilities. The service is expected to expand Apple’s audience as it also brings new features (Push syncing, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 support) which should be found quite useful by many.

Those who had previously subscribed to .Mac had their accounts automatically upgraded to MobileMe; the new subscriber fee is of $99 for a twelve-month plan.
