As far as I can make out, depending on when your Annual contract runs from/to, you’ll either miss out on a few month’s worth of MobileMe before migrating to the iCloud, or it will be extended free of charge.
I’m one of the lucky ones and have got an extra 6 months or so free.
As a result of this shambolic change I’m seriously considering being a ‘paying’ Apple customer in 2012; I like my .mac email address, but the only Apple product I use is a MacBook. I have no interest in iPhones or iTunes outside my notebook!
I loved iDisk, my own bit of webspace for hosting files. I use it a lot for sending clients files using shortened links, or hosting images to be used on forums and my own site.
If nothing has changed recently then iDisk will become obsolete, and I’m going to have to look at other ways to host stuff online. Even if I go for the largest Dropbox it will still be cheaper than my current MobileMe subscription.
Oh Apple, why have you forsaken your old customer base in favour of newer migrators and newbie iTunes users? It’s not all about the music, you know.
