As you now, Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, took some steps at making public the status of the MobileMe situation and asked one of the company's employees to start posting the information on a company blog that is dedicated to the problem.
The new service that is the successor of the .mac e-mail service has been released two weeks ago, together with the 3G iPhone and the App Store. All the people who were having a .mac account at that time were automatically switched over to MobileMe. Besides e-mail, the new service provides users with the possibility of storing some of their data on Apple servers as well as syncing their devices and creating calendar entries for their activities.
While MobileMe was supposed to mark Apple's entrance in the cloud computing business, the service now plays its part at tainting the very good image that Apple had until recently.
The last entry on the MobileMe status blog says that Apple has managed to repair about 70 bugs and that the e-mail problem has been repaired for about 40 percent of the people that were affected by the situation. However, the blog says that the e-mails that the users were supposed to receive during the time when the service went faulty are gone for good.
Despite the large number of complaints that appeared on the Internet, Apple still says that only 1 percent of the MobileMe users have been affected by the situation. The company said that the e-mail problem will be solved for the remaining 60 percent of these users in the next few days.
